Monterrey forward Chinwendu Ihezuo believes the Super Falcons have what it takes to excel in the forthcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand this summer.
The Nigeria senior women’s national team will continue their preparations for the global showpiece with international friendly matches against Haiti and New Zealand on April 7 and 11 respectively in Turkey.
Ihezuo made her debut at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2019 in France following her first goal for Super Falcons against Romania in a friendly game.
With the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner and the Super Falcons will face Republic of Ireland, Australia and Canada in Group B, the attacker believes the nine-time African champions can as far as possible.
