Olympics qualifiers: Eguavoen hints at playing Super Falcon goalkeeper, Nnadozie as defender

Super Falcons coach Augustine Eguavoen has suggested that goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie could play as a central defender for Nigeria's Olympic qualifying campaign. After a 2-0 victory over Comoros in the first leg of their second-round trip, Eguavoen admitted that Nnadozie has the skills to perform effectively in that position. With the unavailability of Oluwatosin Demehin and Osinachi Ohale's retirement, coach Eguavoen opted to field Christy Ucheibe as a central defender, despite Ucheibe's usual role in midfield.

Eguavoen emphasized the importance of players being adaptable and capable of playing various positions, highlighting that Nnadozie has proven her versatility in training sessions. He stated that every member of the squad possesses the ability to perform across multiple roles, which he sees as a significant advantage for Nigeria.
