    THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 2015 SPORTS Preview Nigeria seek to step up after years as also-rans WELLINGTON: Nigeria have been Africa’s com- manding team in women’s soccer, ever present at every Women’s World Cup, and are finally hoping to step up and join the list of the tournament’s top contenders. The Super Falcons kept up an obligatory African presence at the last six World Cups but made little headway, demonstrating the gulf between their game and the more developed standard of women’s football in Europe and North America. But in recent years the gap has narrowed and after Nigeria finished runner-up in last year’s Under-20 Women’s World Cup, there are now hopes Nigeria could be a realistic challenger. “Our desire is to be counted at the World Cup and we won’t leave any stone unturned to ensure we achieve the target,” coach Edwin Okon said in a recent Nigeria press interview ahead of the June 6-July 5 Women’s World Cup in Canada. The target is at least a place in the last eight, emulat- ing Nigeria’s best ever achievement at a Women’s World Cup when they got to the quarter-finals in 1999. Key to Nigeria’s hopes will be a positive result in their opening game in Group D against Sweden in Winnipeg on Monday. They also play Australia and the United States in a tough draw. Okon has put heavy emphasis on fitness ahead of the tournament and there has been a lengthy preparatory camp.
