The underdog team of Vietnam women's team takes on an impossible task at the World Cup

At the 2023 World Cup, the Nigerian women's team fell into Group B at the 2023 World Cup with opponents Australia, the Republic of Ireland and Canada.

Nigeria's national team in turmoil ahead of 2023 World Cup

The African team's group is not considered too difficult, but with their current strength, this is still a big challenge for them.

However, in a recent statement, the wife of Nigerian President Bola Tinubu surprised everyone by assigning the task of winning the 2023 World Cup to the home team.

“You are the shining stars and pride of Africa. I ask you to do your best to overcome the challenges.

It is important that you stick together, play as a team and never put yourself above the team.

I hope this time our Nigerian women's team will surpass what they have done before.

I am sure all Nigerians will be watching and supporting you. Do your best to bring the championship home,” said Bola Tinubu.

But this is a very difficult task to complete because considering all factors, the team under coach Waldrum is rated very low.

On the FIFA rankings, Nigeria is ranked 40th, 8 places lower than the Vietnamese women's team.

In addition, the African team's internal affairs are also in turmoil due to conflicts between players, the Board of Directors and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Specifically, goalkeeper coach Lauren Gregg was removed from the Nigerian national team coaching staff after protesting the NFF's decision to bring an underperforming goalkeeper to the national team.

Next, the NFF asked head coach Waldrum to remove key player Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene from the 2023 World Cup list on the grounds that she “has little connection with Nigerian football”.

When questioned by the press about this case, NFF said Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene was injured and could not participate in the tournament.

But in fact, the 29-year-old midfielder has absolutely no health problems.
