Spain coach sounds warning
The best players in Nigeria have been named by the head coach of the Spain women's national team, Montserrat Tomé.
According to Marca, Montserrat Tomé said, “They are a physically very strong rival, who will take everything to individual and physical duels. It will be very different from Japan because they will let us play less.

“We have studied them well and I would highlight that they play a lot on the left side, where there is an Ajibade that we know well, and that they have a goalkeeper, Nnadozie, who has a fairly long serve and is quite good.”

Tomé is also keeping a close check on Paris FC goalkeeper Nnadozie because she thinks the player initiates attacks with her kicks.

The Super Falcons will be the underdogs once more after losing to Brazil 1-0 in a close game on Thursday in Bordeaux.
Nigeria had several standout players despite the defeat, including midfielder Deborah Abiodun, striker Rasheedat Ajibade, defender Oluwatosin Demehin, and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
However, coach Montserrat is aware of the challenge her team face from the nine-time African champions before their match on Sunday.
