Ahead of the opening Group C game against Falconets, France coach Sonia Haziraj has confessed that they are wary of Nigeria, BSNsports.com.ng reports.

France and Nigeria will come face-to-face on Thursday in the 2022 FIFA U20 World Cup in Costa Rica.

Despite beating Ghana 4-0 in the warm-up game, Sonia still believed that the Falconets are a formidable side.

"I’m extremely wary of Nigeria. I have massive respect for the African game and Nigeria has several players who possess real quality.

"The Nigerians always get out of their group at the youth tournaments. I’ve watched them and they’re a well-drilled, hard-working side.

“They have great pace and are very athletic, and we’ll have to be ready to match them in that respect," she told FIFA.
