"We have been playing against Ghana’s Black Queens for years. I remember when the Falcons team was newly established, our first game in the qualification series for the 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup was against Ghana," Omagbemi told .

“We have played against Mali before, and we know they are no pushovers. Now, Kenya are coming to the African championship for the first time, but from the way they qualified, after beating Algeria, they must be respected.

“Surely, we will take the games against all three countries as seriously as we have been doing in the past. You know, we are the Cup holders and every team would want to beat the Falcons.”

Nigeria kick-off their title defence against Mali on Sunday, November 20 before facing Ghana three days later and Kenya on Monday, November 26.
