The Super Falcons will on Friday July 21 begin their 2023 World Cup campaigns when they file out against Canada in a Group B encounter.

The Nigerian female team which has participated in all editions of the Women’s World Cup, would battle the Olympic champions at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, in Australia.

Despite making all editions of the global showpiece, Nigeria have only managed to reach the quarter-final once, that was in 1999 when they lost 4-3 to Brazil.

In the last edition of the competition, the West Africans bowed out in the round of 16 after crashing to France.

With just four wins in 26 World Cup matches, the Super Falcons will be eager to rewrite history in Australia and New Zealand.
