Super Falcons returned to training on Tuesday with Belarus-based winger, Esther Sunday, boasting that their Malian counterparts will fall when they meet in the return leg of the All Africa Games in Abuja on April 10.
Sunday, who expressed joy at re-uniting with her teammates again, said she was surprised that Mali held Nigeria in the first leg but assured Nigerians that they would be whipped in the second leg.
She said: “I am happy that my club gave me the opportunity to answer this national call to duty.
“I will give the game my best shot and link up with my mates to beat Mali.
“We are confident Mali will fall.
“Our focus is to go to World Cup and do well using the AAG and Olympics qualifiers to prepare.
“We would re-assure Nigerians that we are Africa’s best by beating Mali in both qualifiers.
“After the game, I will go back to my team because we have cup final coming up on May 17.
“So I will go back and come to join my team before the World Cup proper.”
