Super Falcons captain and midfielder Evelyn Nwabuoku has hailed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for adequately preparing the team for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Nwabuoku said the team will reciprocate the kind gesture by putting up a superlative performance when football hostilities start on June 6.

“From the day I joined the team from my base everything has been going as planned. “I want to on behalf of my teammates thank the NFF for keeping to their promises to prepare us very well for the competition.

“We are really grateful and we want to promise that we will not let them down as we hope for a good outing. “Since we came here the training sessions have been going well and we have not missed any training because of the proper organisation of things.

“We also need the support and prayers of Nigerians to spur us to do more at the World Cup,” said the former Rivers Angels playmaker.

Falcons have continued with their training sessions since arriving in Toronto for a training tour and may engage the Canadian side on Monday in one of the build-up matches.

The African champions will open their title account against the Scandinavian giants Sweden on June 8 in Winnipeg before confronting other Group D opponents Australia and USA on June 12 and 16 respectively.
