The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), has pledged its maximum support for the Super Falcons, as they begin preparations fornext year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.
Edwin Okon’s ladies have been drawn in a Group of Death, along with Sweden, USA and Australia.
NFF president admitted it would be tough to qualify the group, but promised that the African champions will get all the necessary backing.
“It is a tough group. You can see that even the Americans are calling it the most difficult group in the competition,” Pinnick said.
“However, our pledge to give the Super Falcons the best preparation possible is intact. They will go to a very good environment for their final camping programme and be engaged in quality friendly matches before the finals.
“It is important that we exceed our previous best performance of a quarter -final berth. Having dominated Africa ceaselessly, it is time that we begin to dominate the world.
“We certainly have the players who can stand up to the best in the universe, as shown by the U-20 girls in the same Canadian nation in August this year.
“What the team needs now are matches against some of the best teams in the world and exposure to the best tactical and training programmes available.”
Nigeria will play Sweden in their first match of the competition on June 8, at the Winnipeg Stadium, Canada.
