Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade has declared they are fully prepared for the Paris 2024 Olympics, which gets underway a week from today with an opening group game against Brazil.
This will be Nigeria’s first appearance at the Olympics after a 16-year absence.
The nine-time African champions trained for two weeks in Sevilla, Spain, before they rounded it up with a test game against reigning Olympics champions Canada, which they lost 1-0.
“We’re ready (for the Olympics),” stated Atletico Madrid forward Ajibade.
“We will give it our best shot.
“We must be ready to compete with the best teams irrespective of the big names, we have the talent, the quality. We have to trust in what we have.
“We did this at the World Cup (last year), where we faced amazing teams like Australia, co-hosts, Ireland and England.
“We have what it takes to be at the top.”
After the opening group game against South American champions Brazil, the Super Falcons will tackle world champions Spain on July 28, before a final first round tie against Japan three days later.
