The coach of the Nigeria Women's Football League side Bayelsa Queens Ogbonda Whyte has called for the inclusion of the home-based players in the Super Falcons, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Falcons was eliminated from the group stage of the women's football event at the ongoing Paris Olympic Games after losing 3 games.

Ogbonda complained that non-inclusion of the home-based players is having a major effect on the team.

“It has to do with the selection problem, because in every competition, a coach must have to do good selection. With that sentiment, you have to go for the best. 

"One of the issues we are getting in terms of selection is our inability to recruit our Home-based, who are hungry to play, who are hungry to make names for themselves.

“Because by the time you look at what is happening, most of the players they call are all foreign-based Nigerians.

“If I say foreign-based Nigerians, most of them are not brought up in Nigeria. 

"So that culture, that mentality of we Nigerians are not in them', he told Brila FM.
