Dedevbo Targets World Cup Trophy

Nigeria Under-20
Women’s coach Peter Dedevbo has set his sights on the World Cup trophy.
Dedevbo’s side opened their tournament at midnight on Wednesday against Mexico, and the former Delta Queens coach is already looking way ahead.
“I am confident that with the level of training we have had, mark my words, the team will make Nigeria proud,” he said.
“I have assembled some of the best players in the country. They are smart and experienced. Bringing players from the U-17 team that went to Costa Rica and others from Super Falcons has brought competition to the team.
“I am aware of the previous records of the team, but I’m so confident this time around that my target is to bring home the trophy.”
That previous record is six participations without the trophy. But even captain Patience Okaeme has caught the trophy-chasing bug.
“We owe it to ourselves to make Nigeria proud by winning not only our first match, but all our matches,” she said.
Kicked-off is at 8pm local time in Moncton last Wednesday, which is midnight Nigeria time. All games are live on Super Sport.
