Falconets head coach, Chris Danjuma claimed his side have the quality to win the title at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
The West Africans made it to the final of the competition in 2010 and 2014 but fell at the last hurdle.
Danjuma has however set his sights on breaking the duck this time around.
“I think we’re closing in on our goal. As Africans, we have a spiritual perspective,” the 60-year-old told FIFA.com.
“We are confident that now is the right time to emulate the opportunities and events of 2010 and 2014. I am certain Africa will stand at the top of the world for the first time.”
Nigeria will play in Group D alongside Germany, Venezuela and South Africa.
Danjuma shared his thought on the three opponents.
“All three nations are keen to develop women’s football, so being in the same group is a privilege and promises to make for some closely-fought encounters. As ambassadors for women’s football in our country, we are proud to be going to Colombia to showcase our talent and our players’ skills,” he added.
The Falconets will face South Korea in their first game in Bogota on September 1.
Colombia will host the competition from August 31 to September 22.
