AWCON 2022: Nigeria defender warns against underrating teams ahead of tournament

 

Nigeria defender Glory Ogbonna has warned Super Falcons against underrating countries in their group as the country prepares to compete in the Africa Women Cup of Nations (AWCON) scheduled for Morocco.

The draw for the 2022 AWCON group stage took place in Rabat on Friday night, with the Super Falcons renewing their rivalry with South Africa, having been drawn together in Group C alongside Botswana and Burundi.

While analyzing the AWCON draw, Ogbonna, who plays for Segunda División Pro team, Santa Teresa CD, stated that there are no more minnows in African football.

According to the former Umea IK star, Falcons players should not take the group stage matches lightly, even though coach Randy Waldrum has stated that Nigeria will be prepared to win all of her group stage matches.

“Well it is a draw just like other groups as well though people are saying it is an easy group, yeah I can agree with them somehow based on the fact that only South Africa and Super falcons are well known in group C.
