The Nigerian team is determined to secure their first-ever championship after narrowly missing out on the title in 2010 and 2014.
Danjuma expressed confidence in his squad’s ability to bring the trophy home after the tournament in Colombia, emphasizing that they have the potential to go all the way this time.
“I think we’re closing in on our goal. As Africans, we have a spiritual perspective,” the 60-year-old told FIFA.com.
“We are confident that now is the right time to emulate the opportunities and events of 2010 and 2014. I am certain Africa will stand at the top of the world for the first time.”
Nigeria will play in Group D alongside Germany, Venezuela and South Africa.
Danjuma shared his thought on the three opponents.
“All three nations are keen to develop women’s football, so being in the same group is a privilege and promises to make for some closely-fought encounters. As ambassadors for women’s football in our country, we are proud to be going to Colombia to showcase our talent and our players’ skills,” he added.
The Falconets will face South Korea in their first in Bogota on September 1.
