Randy Waldrum, head coach of the Super Falcons, has stated that his squad is battle ready for their opening match against Canada at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
On Thursday, the West Africans will face the Olympic champions at Melbourne Rectangular Stadium.
The Canadians will be the overwhelming favorites, but Waldrum remarked that his team is eager for the challenge.
The American also stated that his team had appropriately prepared for the contest.
“Good, good session, a good day, we did load them a little bit,” Waldrum said in a short video interview posted on NFF’s Twitter handle.
“The players were into it, it was intense, and then we got a chance to work on some of the tactics, so very pleased with training today.
“Obviously, the weather is going to be a little bit of a factor, it’s colder there than it is here, it’s winter in Australia, so we’re just going to have to adapt to it.
“It’s a 12:30 kick-off midday game, so that should help a little bit with the weather. I think the thing is, you get to this point, you just have to play in the elements, whatever they are, you’re at the World Cup.
“But I think the players are prepared, I think they understand the game plan, now we just have to make sure we execute it.”
