The Super Falcons have a talented pool in Brisbane that can hold their own even against the top teams. How the rich blend of youth and experience combine on the field will be crucial to their chances of achieving a decent outing in the World Cup.
Women’s football growth in recent years has helped to expose 98% of Nigerian women footballers in the squad to setups, atmospheres, and personnel they’ll probably come up against in the form of opponents in Australia.
The uniqueness of Randy Waldrum’s team is that they can be set up in different ways depending on the opposition’s strengths and weaknesses.
DT Sports has tipped 5 players to have a great deal of impact during the mundial.
Christy Uchiebe
The SL Benfica midfielder had a prosperous season culminating in a title and cup win with her club.
Uchiebe bossed matches in the league which sometimes ended in a cricket score for her team but faded in bigger games on the continent as Benfica struggled.
The former Nasarawa Amazon’s player-efficient style is beneficial to the Falcons whose run to the semifinal of the Women’s Nations Cup 2022 was ended by Morocco.
Uchiebe has been impressive on tours to Mexico, Japan, and Turkey in the last 8-months for the Falcons. She’ll be a focal point to Nigeria’s success at this year’s World Cup.
