The Super Falcons of Nigeria have been eliminated from the Paris 2024 Olympics after a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Japan in their final group match. The loss marked Nigeria's third consecutive defeat, leaving them at the bottom of Group C.
Coming into the match, Nigeria needed a win to keep their hopes alive for advancing to the quarterfinals. Japan, on the other hand, came into the game in second place with three points, and was also seeking a victory to secure their progression.
Jennifer Echegini scored Nigeria's only goal of the tournament, a stark contrast to their struggles in front of goal, having failed to score in their previous four matches. Despite showing promise against Brazil and Spain, the Super Falcons could not capitalize on their potential.
Historically, Nigeria has defeated Japan before, notably in the 2004 Olympics. They aim to regroup and improve in future competitions.
