It's a chase for a record extending 10th WAFCON title for the Super Falcons of Nigeria, and former coach Randy Waldrum has backed the girls to go all the way in Morrocco.
Although Waldrum was unable to win the tournament in his four year stint with the Falcons, he still believes the girls have enough talent to get the results they need.
"I would say we can do it this way; I think the players are good enough on their own, that they can win it.
I think there's enough talent there, based off what was built from the World Cup and the Olympics."
"Those players will find a way to get the result because they're hungry to go retain the title.
I think they can do that despite the coaching, I don't think it's at the level it needs to be to help you win on the World stage, but I think the player's talent is enough." He said via EaglesTracker.
Waldrum also spoke on the possibility of returning as the head coach of the Super Falcons, claiming it will be a pleasure to return, but on the right conditions.
"I would love to come back and continue the job, but I would only do it if I could pick my technical staff and have the right people, He said.
I'm a big believer of having Nigerian local coaches and Nigerian staff as well, because we want to continue to educate and grow the game in Nigeria, but I would want to pick those Nigerian coaches as well.
I know two or three that would be really good and qualified and would be a great addition along with the staff I would bring."
"I would certainly continue to do it if they ever wanted me to do it." Waldrum concluded.
