Halimat Ayinde has garnered support for her Super Falcons colleagues ahead of the crucial Group C showdown against Japan.

To advance to the quarter-finals of the current 2024 Olympic Games, the Super Falcons must defeat the Asian champions first.

Randy Waldrum's squad lost their first two games to Brazil and Spain.

Ayinde, who was unable to make the Super Falcons roster for the Olympics owing to injury, also challenged the players to give their all on the pitch.

"Stop the slandering and give the Super Falcons the support they require today.
One love. "Let's give everything today, mates," she posted on X.

The match will take place at Nantes' Stade de la Beaujoire and will begin at 4 p.m. Nigerian time.
