2023 WWC: Super Falcons Captain upbeat on team's chances

Posted : 18 July 2023
Super Falcons captain, Onome Ebi says the team wants to make a big impact at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The former African champions have attended all the previous editions of the World Cup.

The Super Falcons, who are Africa’s most successful side made it to the quarter-final once, at the 1999 edition hosted by the United States of America.

The West Africans were eliminated in the second round by Germany four years ago in France.

Randy Waldrum’s side faces a daunting task again with current Olympic champions, Canada, Australia and the Republic of Ireland in their group.

The Super Falcons finished in the fourth position at the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations last year in Morocco.

Ebi, who will be making her sixth World Cup appearance in Australia and New Zealand said the team has high hopes going into the competition.

“Our ambition, definitely, is to do our best. We approach this World Cup with the mindset of performing to our utmost best and conquering. We had some disappointments at the last Africa Women’s Cup of Nations where we did not put the best performance,” the centre-back said in an interview with CAFOnline.

“We have the opportunity at the World Cup where we do not want to disappoint again. I have faith in my team and I like our current state of mind. The team is united and I believe we will be able to do great things at the World Cup. We are motivated and we want to hoist Nigeria’s flag to the highest point.

“The ball is in our court as players and we have to do everything to be on fire physically and mentally for this opportunity.”

The Super Falcons will take on Canada in their first game on Thursday.
