The Super Falcons of Nigeria are in the Group B of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup to be co-hosted by New Zealand and Australia.
Nigeria has previously played the Canadian and Australian women’s national teams at the FIFA World Cup. In preparation for the World Cup, Nigeria played friendly games against the USWNT, Canadian women’s national team and Nadeshiko of Japan. Since then, the Nigeria women’s football team has been trying but to no avail to match the accomplishments of the 1999 version of the side.
The 66-year-old Waldrum has managed other teams since 1978, when he took over the Pittsburg State University Women’s team and has been in charge of many American universities, in both men’s and women’s sides. Priestman knows in and out of the Canada national team, having managed the U17, U20 and now the senior women’s team. She has also served as an assistant manager of the England Women’s national team, a position she left for her current job. Priestman has led Canada to 9 wins, 5 draws and 3 loses in 17 games.
This marks the first time that Canada Soccer’s National Teams have won a major world tournament . And analysts believe that Priestman’s team would be going into the World Cup stronger than ever.Tony Gustavsson is a highly experienced manager and a former footballer who has managed numerous club sides and was the assistant coach of the United States National Women. He has guided Australia to 12 wins, 5 draws and 13 loses in 30 games.
Speaking on the chances of Nigeria at the tournament, Andrew Randa, a football analyst who works with the Communication department of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, says he does not see the Nigerian women crossing the group stages.
