Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has insisted that Nigeria will make things right when they face South Africa in a 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup play-off on Thursday.
Nnadozie spoke after Nigeria missed out on automatic qualification for the 2027 Women’s World Cup tournament.
This follows Nigeria’s 1-0 defeat to Cameroon in the CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, quarter-final tie played on Sunday.
The Super Falcons will face South Africa for a spot at an inter-confederation qualifier in November, which could give them another chance to reach the global show piece.
“This is football, this is life,” Nnadozie told the BBC World Service.
“What happened, happened, we just have to keep our heads high. There is still hope; it is not over yet.
“On Thursday, we will go out strong, we will try to do better than we have done [against Cameroon] and hope to get to the next stage of the World Cup.
“We will go there and make things right,” she said.
