“I must say that Nigeria and South Africa will emerge as frontrunners for securing Africa’s berths at the Olympics,” Smart said.
“As each team brings its unique strengths and strategies to the pitch, the Super Falcons of Nigeria boasts a rich footballing history and a tradition of excellence in women’s football in Africa and the World, making them formidable contenders.
“Meanwhile, South Africa’s recent performances and steady development in women’s football position them as strong contenders also for Olympic qualification.”
He added, “We cannot write off a team like Morocco.
“They did well at the last Women’s FIFA World Cup.
“As debutants, they reached the knockout round of the tournament [in Australia and New Zealand].
“So should South Africa fail to make it, I tip the North Africans to qualify for Paris,” he further stated.
