“Saturday morning training was intense, motivating the players are in shape and good spirits so we are ready to go. The training can speak for itself because we know that is what we bargained for, very intensive training.”
Super Falcons will take on Canada on July 21 at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
They have participated in all editions of the FIFA Women’s World Cup since the inaugural showpiece in China 1991.
Their best performance was a quarter final berth at the USA ’99 tournament.
