Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The West Africans’ best achievement at the FIFA Women’s World Cup was a quarter-final finish at the 1999 edition hosted by the United States of America.
The nine-time African champions were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Germany four years ago in France.
Ebi, who was included in the 23-woman squad unveiled by head coach Randy Waldrum on Friday, is adamant that the Super Falcons make it to the last four this time.
“As a team, we want to do better than we did at the 2019 World Cup in France. Being totally honest, I think we can aim for the semi-finals. We’ve got high-quality, experienced players and some really talented youngsters,” the 40-year-old told FIFA.com.
“It really is doable, and it’s up to us to grab the chance with both hands and show the world that we are Nigeria and that we’re not just there to make up the numbers. I’m ready for a sixth World Cup, and we’re ready as a team.”
The Falcons will face Australia, Canada and the Republic of Ireland in Group B.
They will arrive in Australia on Tuesday, July 4, for a 15-day final camping programme before the finals begin on July 20.
