Ahead of the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, we here at For The Win are previewing some key teams to watch in this tournament. Next up is the Nigeria women’s national team. You can see the full list of team previews and read about the USWNT here.
One of the sleeper teams at the 2023 World Cup is Nigeria.
Although this isn’t a powerhouse, the Super Falcons have some star power that could make them a competitive team and surprise some fans in the World Cup.

So as the tournament kicks off, here’s a look at what you need to know about Nigeria in the 2023 World Cup.
