…Super Falcons are prepared for their record ninth appearance at the global contest
Nigeria’s Super Falcons Captain, Onome Ebi, is confident on the team preparedness to face the best at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The multiple African champions have been drawn in the tournament’s toughest Group B where they will battle out against Canada, Republic of Ireland and hosts Australia, and the ambitious Nigerians are getting ready to work for a good performance.
According to Daily Post, Ebi, who is set to participate in her last major competition with the Super Falcons, insisted that they will be up to the task.
The experienced defender claimed her side have experience at this level which will be crucial in the competition.
“We are aware that we are in a difficult pool. We have the reigning champions Canada who we have faced twice before, losing one and drawing one. Then we have Ireland and Australia who we have not played against,” Ebi told CAFonline.com.
“We know it will also be very tough against Australia because they will be playing at home. We are under no pressure, however, and we are calm about these matches.
“All of these teams have qualified and earned their right to be at the World Cup. We have to be ready to face them,” the centre-back added.
The Super Falcons are unbeaten in their last three games.
The nine-time African champions defeated Haiti and New Zealand in their recent friendlies.
The West Africans have participated in all editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup since its inception in 1991.
