They have also qualified for every FIFA Women’s World Cup since the tournament’s inception in 1991.
In their most recent World Cup appearance in 2019, Nigeria reached the round of 16.
Now, Nigeria and England are set to meet in the round of 16 of the 2023 World Cup. The match will be played on August 7th in Brisbane, Australia.
England are the favorites to win the match, but Nigeria will be looking to upset the odds and continue their recent run of success against their former colonial masters.
In the past, England have always had the upper hand over Nigeria in international football. However, the Super Falcons have been closing the gap in recent years.
The Super Falcons also have a number of talented players who are capable of causing England problems. Asisat Oshoala is one of the best strikers in the world, and she will be looking to score goals against the Lionesses.
However, England have their own strengths. They are a well-organized team with a strong defense. They also have a number of talented players in their squad, including Lauren James.
The match between Nigeria and England is sure to be a close one. Both teams have the potential to win, and it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Will the English continue to dominate over their former colonies, or will Nigeria continue the cycle upset?
The answer to that question remains to be seen. However, one thing is for sure: the match between Nigeria and England will be one of the most exciting games of the 2023 World Cup.
