Ejike Lucy (Captain) said the Egyptians, Mexicans and other South American countries are already intimidated by their presence. “Since other countries heard of our arrival, there has been panic in the arena. They are aware of what we can do at any given time and day.
“After missing two championships, the North Africans took advantage and are now ranked above us. That will change before the end year”, she said.

The female coach, Patience lgbiti who is optimistic of a good outing in Mexico, said though Nigeria is not going to the championship with her full team, she promised that the team will not disappoint .
She urged philanthropists, corporate organisation to come out and support them, while also calling on Nigerians to remember the team in their prayers.
