Super Falcons will depart for Kaduna Wednesday morning to continue their preparation for the second leg tie of the Africa women championship (AWC) qualifier at the Ahmadu Bello stadium on June 7.
Nigeria who won the cup eight times has a 4-1 advantage from the first leg and will qualify automatically for AWC if they avoid heavy defeat against the She Amavubi of Rwanda. A draw will do for the Falcons to qualify.
Team administrator Ruth David who revealed the team’s itinerary said the Falcons would train at the Ahmadu Bello stadium pitch before the game.
Team media officer Gracious Akujobi quotes Coach Edwin Okon as saying that Falcons would train hard to get use to the grass pitch after training in astro turf for the past two months.
Meanwhile, coach Okon has said that his girls would play the She Amavubi as if their whole life depends on the game stressing “we won’t be over confident when we play them. We would not be complacent” he said.
On her part, Turkey-based striker Desire Oparanozie has promised that they would continue the goal scoring from where they left off in Rwanda, adding that goals is the name of the game and they are ready to make Nigerians happy come Saturday.
“We may have won the first leg 4-1 but we are not done yet. We know goals make fans happy and we are ready by God’s grace to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians” she promised.
