Head coach of Nigeria’s female under-20 team, Super Falconets, Christopher Danjuma, has said the team will go for goals when they face their Cameroonian counterpart in the 2022 U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers at the refurbished MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday.
Both had earlier played out a goalless draw in their first leg meeting on January 22 in Cameroun and the Falconets will need a win on home soil to see them through to the playoff round of the qualifiers where they will face the winner between Morocco and Senegal for a place in the finals billed for August 10 to 28 in Costa Rica.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the game, Danjuma noted that while the Cameroonian team was a strong one, the team had worked hard since returning from the first leg in Douala and he was confident they will come out victorious.
Saturday’s encounter will be the first international match at the MKO Abiola National Stadium since the venue hosted a 2016 Women Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match between the Super Falcons and the Senior Women Team of Senegal in April 2016.
