Super Falcons Centre-back Ashleigh Plumptre says Nigeria is capable of causing a couple of upsets at the 2023 FIFA women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Speaking in an interview posted on the Super Falcons Twitter handle, Plumptre says ”I think right now we’re just in a really good position just preparing as we are, here in Turkey,”
She says “Obviously we’ve got our eyes set on the summer but right now we’re trying to just put little details into practice and make sure that come the summer the team is ready to perform”
Plumptre revealed further “we know we’re obviously against really good opposition, we definitely can’t look past that. Pressure is on the likes of Canada and Australia and I know we have some amazing talent in the team, so we’re definitely going to put in some good performances and I think we can cause some couple of upsets.”
