“We have won this trophy 10 times and as Oliver twist, I need more and want the Falcons to keep writing Nigeria’s name in Gold,” she said.
Another football enthusiast, Miss Angela Okete, a student said she was overwhelmed with joy when the Super Falcons beat Egypt to progress to the next round.
“The Nigerian women have experience players to overcome Cameroon but our players need to bring out the physical aspect of their game.
