Ahead of the 2022 African Women Cup of Nations, Nigeria's Super Falcons defender Glory Ogbonna has urged the team not to underrate the group opponents, BSNsports.com.ng can report.

Apart from South Africa in group C with Nigeria, both Burundi and Botswana are debutants in the competition which make bookmakers tagged them as underdog.

While analyzing the AWCON draw, Ogbonna, who plays for Segunda División Pro team, Santa Teresa CD, stated that there are no more minnows in African football.

“Well, it is a draw just like other groups as well though people are saying it is an easy group, yeah I can agree with them somehow based on the fact that only South Africa and Super falcons are well known in group C.," she said.

Super Falcons will play Bayana Bayana in the opening group match before facing Burundi and Botswana later in the tournament.
