“Nigeria is living to expectations, as the leading soccer power house in Africa, including being the most consistent team from Africa, having qualified and participated in all the FIFA Women’s World Cup so far.

“I told the FIFA President recently that the gap between Women’s football in Africa and the rest of the world is getting narrow and so it seems we are going to have a women African team winning the World Cup, before the men does.

“You should continue to believe in yourselves and play as a team and be ready to lift the African flag higher in the tournament.” She concluded.
