Despite one or two issues rocking the team, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Technical Director Austin Eguavoen remained optimistic about the team, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will begin their campaign in the competition when they face the Olympic champion Canada in the opening group game.

"I'm very optimistic that they will perform well.

“The first game is always very important, the first game will determine how far we will go.

“Because if anything goes wrong in the first game, then the team becomes jittery, but with the quality of players we have. I think they are good enough to handle any kind of pressure and I’m looking at a very good performance", he told reporters.

Super Falcons is one of the few teams that has not missed any of the women's World Cup since its inception in 1991.
