“We won that game with determination to qualify for the World Cup and also enhance our chances of retaining the Africa Women trophy that we last won.

“We want to win the trophy for a record 10th time to remain dominant force in Africa Women football.

“Beyond Africa, we are also looking at winning the Women World Cup,” she stated.

Ogbonna maintained that while the Falcons respected the host country, they were, however, not loosing any sleep over the semi final match with them.

“We are very focused in our next match which incidentally is against the host team,” Ogbonna said.

The defender decribed the support from Nigerians and their fans as the biggest motivation to the team.
