“It is important that you remain committed by playing together as a team; no one should think that she’s better player than the other.

“I am sure that 99.9 per cent of Nigerians will stay glued to their television sets to watch you. Please try your best to bring the cup home.”

The tournament is billed to begin on July 20 and finishes on August 20.
