The former Edo Queens defence marshal was in the Falcons squad that undertook an eight-day training camp in Austrian capital, Vienna, in July as part of the intense preparations for the forthcoming football showpiece.

Speaking on her expectations at the competition that will see the nine-time African champions trade tackle with Mali and Morocco in Group A, the Umeå IK star insisted that Falcons were well-equipped to emerge victorious at the prestigious tournament named in honour of the wife of Nigeria’s President.

Meanwhile, coach of Morocco’s women national team, Reynald Pedros, is targeting his first successful campaign on the continent ahead of the Aisha Buhari Cup.
