Christy Ucheibe, the talented footballer, has expressed her eagerness to represent the Super Falcons at the upcoming 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The tournament will take place in Australia and New Zealand from July 20 to August 20, making it the ninth edition of this prestigious event.
In Group B, the Super Falcons will face tough opponents such as Australia, Republic of Ireland, and Canada. Ucheibe is expected to play a crucial role for Nigeria’s national team in this tournament, and she recently took to Twitter to showcase her enthusiasm and determination.
“READY TO GO! 🇳🇬 To serve with heart and might. Let’s go Super Falcons,” her tweet proudly declares.
Ucheibe’s impressive performance in the UEFA Women’s Champions League last season, where she made eight appearances for Benfica, has further highlighted her abilities and potential.
The Super Falcons’ opening match in the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup will be against Canada on July 21 at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. As the only African team to have reached the quarter-finals of this prestigious tournament, the Super Falcons have a proud history.
During the USA ’99 edition, they made it to the quarter-finals before being narrowly defeated by Brazil with a scoreline of 4-3.
The stage is set for Ucheibe and her teammates to shine on the global stage, and Nigeria’s football fans eagerly await their performances in this highly-anticipated event.
