Brazilian striker Adriana has expressed optimism that her team will emerge victorious in their opening Group C match against the Super Falcons of Nigeria at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The match, scheduled for Thursday, promises to be a thrilling encounter between two teams with a rich history in women’s football.
Adriana, who plays for Orlando Pride, believes that the game will be decided by the smallest of margins, emphasizing the importance of attention to detail in both attack and defense. Despite Brazil’s impressive record in women’s football, they have not won a gold medal at the Olympics, with their best finish being two silver medals.
The Super Falcons, led by Randy Waldrum, will be looking to upset the Brazilians and make a statement in their opening match. However, Adriana is confident that her team has what it takes to overcome the Nigerians and go all the way in the tournament.

In a recent interview, Adriana emphasized the importance of focus and concentration in the opening match, stating, “This first game is decisive. In fact, it’s always going to be that way. We have to have a lot of concentration, with a lot of focus, in this debut. And take it step-by-step.”
Meanwhile, some players of the Super Falcons had a scare over the weekend when they were trapped in a malfunctioning elevator at their hotel in Bordeaux, France. The incident, which was captured on video, showed the players waiting anxiously for help to arrive. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
The Super Falcons will be looking to put the incident behind them and focus on their opening match against Brazil. With Asisat Oshoala, Tochukwu Oluehi, and Uchenna Kanu leading the charge, the Nigerians will be hoping to cause an upset and make a statement in the women’s football event at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The match between Brazil and the Super Falcons promises to be an exciting encounter, with both teams looking to make a strong start to their Olympic campaign. Will Adriana’s confidence be justified, or will the Super Falcons pull off a stunning upset? Only time will tell.
