As the CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) heats up, former Nigerian international and prolific forward Ugochi Desire Oparanozie believes Banyana Banyana is Nigeria's biggest threat to winning the WAFCON, but she feels the Super Falcons can get past them and ultimately claim the coveted title.
Oparanozie's insights come on the heels of Nigeria's emphatic 5-0 quarter-final victory over Zambia, setting up a tantalising semi-final clash against the defending champions on Tuesday night. "I believe Nigeria's biggest threat is Banyana Banyana, who are the defending champions," Ugochi told Showmax Premier League. "Once Nigeria can get past them, the WAFCON is as good as won by the Super Falcons," added Oparanozie, a seasoned veteran of the Nigerian national team.
Reflecting on Nigeria's dominant performance against Zambia, Oparanozie expressed immense satisfaction. "Thank you so much.
I was super excited and proud.
