Super Falcons targeting FIFA Women’s World Cup semi-finals — Ebi

The captain of the senior national women football team, Onome Ebi, has said that the Super Falcons will be aiming for a semi-finals spot at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the ninth FIFA Women’s World Cup finals will hold in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20.

Ebi, while speaking with NAN following the FIFA Women’s World Cup trophy tour in Abuja on Sunday, said the team’s goal was to better their record at their last outing.

“We are going there to give our best and our target is to at least get to the last four having made it to the round of 16 in our last outing at France in 2019.

“However, there are no guarantees, we are just going there to play our game. We are working towards it and have been playing several high-profile friendly games.

“In spite of the fact that the results are not what Nigerians want, I believe our losses will help us get better as we work on our mistakes ahead of the World Cup.

“The World Cup finals is the big target and that’s what we are working for,” she said.
