Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre says she is happy with the team being tagged underdogs ahead of the 2023 FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The nine-time African champions are currently in Turkey where they are involved in exhibition games in preparation for the World Cup scheduled to hold from July 20 to August 20.
The Falcons beat Haiti 2-1 last Friday at Emir Sports Complex, Antalya, Turkey and will face World Cup co-host, New Zealand today.
Victory over Haiti means the Nigeria senior women’s national team made it two consecutive wins after snapping out of their seven-match winless run.
