Falconets head coach, Chris Danjuma says his team is battle-ready for their opening fixture at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
The West Africans will take on the Korean Republic in their first game at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, Bogota on Monday morning.
Danjuma’s side spent two weeks in Bogota perfecting strategies for the competition.
The Falconets defeated Australia 3-1 in their first friendly and lost 1-0 to Mexico in their second test game.
The gaffer said it is important for his side to start the competition on a positive note.
“We are working on our tactics and techniques, to get it right when we play the Koreans. That is the first and foremost assignment. Once we get it right against the Koreans, we will then set out for the Germans,” he told thenff.com.
“I am very happy that we have no case of injury in camp. The girls are all ready to go out there and make Nigeria proud.”
