The Nigeria Women’s National Team is set to open the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup against Canada on June 9th. This marks the first time that the Nigerian team has ever qualified for the tournament. The team is led by head coach Thomas Dennerby, who has been in charge since 2018.
Nigeria is one of 24 teams competing in the tournament, which will be held in France from June 7th to July 7th. The Nigerian team earned their spot in the tournament by winning the 2018 African Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana. This was the first time that Nigeria had won the tournament, and it was a huge achievement for the team.
The Nigerian team has a strong roster, with some of the best players in Africa. These include Asisat Oshoala, who is one of the best forwards in the world, and Francisca Ordega, who is a midfielder for the Washington Spirit in the National Women’s Soccer League. The team also features experienced players such as defender Onome Ebi and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
The Nigerian team will be looking to make an impact at the tournament, and they have a good chance of doing so. They are in Group A alongside Canada, Cameroon, and New Zealand, and they will be looking to qualify for the knockout stages. If they can do that, they could potentially make a deep run in the tournament.
The Nigerian team has been preparing for the tournament for months, and they are ready to make their mark on the world stage. It will be an exciting tournament, and it will be interesting to see how far the Nigerian team can go. The opening match against Canada will be a great opportunity for them to show what they are capable of.
