Passionate Lagos fans are eagerly looking forward to welcoming the African teams for the maiden Aisha Buhari Invitational Women’s Tournament.“I will support the Mali team, even though I know that Nigeria will win the cup,” says Emmanuella, a JSS 2 student of Birrel High School, Sabo, Yaba.
For her friends Bose and Ifeoluwa, both students of Onike Girls Secondary School, the Aisha Buhari Cup will provide them the opportunity to see four-time African Woman Player of the Year winner, Asisat Oshoala. “Most of our classmates talk about Asisat Oshoala; will she play? We will like to come and watch her play for Nigeria.”
Emeka Ndidi, a shop owner at Shitta, Surulere, believes the rivalry among Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon is the spice that makes women football on the continent tick. “You know the rivalry between Super Falcons and these other countries is a big one. It will be interesting to watch them and see if they can measure up to Nigeria.”
