MATCH PREVIEW
THE SUPER FALCONS 'READY' FOR GHANA CLASH
The Nigeria national women’s team, the Super Falcons, are
battle-ready for Wednesday’s second group game at the at
the ongoing African Women’s Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
The Falcons are billed to face the Black Queens of Ghana and
Coach of the Nigeria team, Florence Omagbemi, has said her
team will not underrate their West African neighbours.
Speaking during the pre-match press briefing, the ex-
international said they are not going to treat Wednesday’s
game with kid gloves.
The Coach also debunked rumours that some of the players
are nursing injuries ahead of the cracker.
“We are not underrating any team. Ghana is a good side, we
are hoping to have a good game tomorrow,” she said.
“We are looking forward to the game tomorrow, the camp is
calm and we are ready. The match is important to us because
that is going to be the star match of the competition. All the
players are battle ready for the game.
“I want to say here that we have all the players fit, there
are 21 players in the team but we are only allowed to use 11
and three substitutes. After the victory against Mali, the
next is against Ghana and the plan is to take it game after
game.”
Also speaking at Tuesday’s press conference, Ghanaian coach,
Yussif Basigi, said what is important to him on Wednesday
will be the three points at stake.
Basigi said: “We are ready for tomorrow’s game, it is a big
game and we have to deal with the atmosphere.
“It’s not about playing beautiful football, three points was
key against Kenya and we got it, same thing also important
against Nigeria.”
Super Falcons defeated Mali 6-0 on Sunday in their first
game. But for the Ghana Coach, the West Africa derby will
be a different kettle of fish.
“Ghana – Nigeria is always a different ball game. They
massacred Mali 6-0 but it doesn’t mean that they will
massacre Ghana. Let the day come and we will see what
happens,” he said.
Ghana beat Kenya 3-1 in their first game also on Sunday and
victory for either Nigeria or Ghana in Wednesday’s game
should see them through to the semi-final.

PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT FOR IN THE NIGERIAN TEAM
Undoubtedly, Asisat Oshoala is the first player to watch out
for, she emphasized her undoubted class against Mali, expect
more from her today. Francisca Ordega should also be
watched out for.
Ghana striker, Elizabeth Addo who scored a late brace to
snatch all the three maximum points for Ghana against Kenya
should also be watched out for, the Super Falcons should be
careful to watch out!
