Final task awaits confident Nigeria

The Nigeria team who will contest Sunday’s final of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup against Germany are proving the talk of their country back home, but coach Ndem Egan thinks his girls can withstand the stress of the big event and lift the trophy on Sunday afternoon.

With even Nigeria’s president and first lady counted as high-profile supporters, there is certainly more attention on the Falconets than was expected at the start of the tournament. But the west Africans have a solid pedigree in women’s football, and Egan says the current squad are taking great strength from their performances so far in the finals.
