Esther Onyenezide, Falconets Midfielder, has affirmed that the team is well prepared for any match at the U-20 Women’s World Cup in Coast Rica.
Falconets qualified for the quarter-finals of the tournament after they won their two opening games against France, where Flourish Sabastina scored the winning goal, and against the Republic of South Korea, which Onyenezide scored the hero goal.
Onyenezide is very positive that the team can emerge champions of the WWC. According to her, if you speak about female football in Africa, they stand out as the giants. They have prepared very well, and they possess confidence in every match they are to play. She further said that they want to prove to every other team, that they aren’t only the giants of female football in Africa but in the world in general.
“We are a giant in Africa and fear no other team,” player of the match,” Onyenezide told BBC Sports.
“We’ve trained an unbelievable amount and if you look back at qualifying, then we’ve every right to be confident out here whenever we play.
“We want to show the world that we’re not just big in African terms but that we can beat any other team.”
The Falconets are to go against Canada in their last fixture, on Wednesday. Go, girls!
