The FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 will see two sides from different continents go up against each other as Nigeria faces Norway in their first game of the group stage on Saturday.
Nigeria Women are 38th in the FIFA Ranking and are one of the best sides in Africa. They have proven to a side who don’t shy away from challenges and takes anyone on fearlessly. The team has incredible pedigree when it comes to scoring goals, and their superior physicality will give them the edge when things are getting tougher.
Meanwhile, Norway Women are in the 12th place in the rankings and are one of the well-known sides in the world. Even though the best player in the world in Ada Hegerberg will be missing out from this tournament, they have enough firepower to go far. This competition is the ideal litmus test for the roster to see how well they can cope with the pressure without their superstar player.
