Nigerian forward Rasheedat Ajibade says that the Super Falcons have the capacity to beat Australia at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Super Falcons held the highly rated Canucks of Canada to a 0-0 draw on July 21.
They play the Matildas of Australia in their next fixture on the 27th of July.
In a video posted on the Super Falcons Twitter, Ajibade seemed confident of a good showing against the co-hosts.

“I’m really pumped up for the game so I’m 100 percent,” Ajibade remarked
“It’s going to be a difficult game, we are playing against the host team, in a very big stadium, with so much crowd.
“We are going to play against a lot of factors that day but I think we have this, we’ve got this, we’ve done it against big teams and I trust the whole team.
“We have the capacity, we have the talent, we have the energy, we have the strength, we have to bring our A-game.”
Ajibade missed the game against Canada due to a red card she received against Morocco at the semi-final stage of the 2022 Africa Women Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Super Falcons are joint second in Group B of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup with one point obtained after match day one.
