With kick-off scheduled for 11:00 am in Angola, the Africans are completely dependent on themselves and will only mortgage their aspirations if they eventually lose, thus waiting for a victory for Canada or Australia in the confrontation between them.
The Nigerians, currently ranked first in Group B with four points, beat Australia (3-2) in the second round and drew (0-0) in the game against Canada, ranked second with the same number of points.
The group is closed with the Australians in third place with three and without scoring, the Irish are in the last place.
In the last edition of the Women’s World Cup, held in 2019 in France, no African team went beyond the group stage. Nigeria were in third place with three points, the result of a victory against South Korea in group A where the hosts and the Norwegian team were present.
