Super Falcons Coach Edwin Okon has boasted that his team is
set to win the African Women Championship (AWC) for the 7th time by beating
Cameroon in the final on Saturday.
Speaking in Windhoek Namibia, Okon stated that Super Falcons
from the onset have made up their mind to beat any side to reclaim the title
they lost two years ago.

"From the onset, we said it that we shall take the
teams as they come. We did not care who we play in the final because we
prepared to play who ever and we are ready to beat Cameroon in the final of the
AWC.
"South Africa gave us a big scare but we were unlucky
not to score more than two goals in the first half. The final with Cameroon
will be tougher but we shall also raise our game to beat them and reclaim the
title.
"We lost to them in the third place match in Equatorial
Guinea and I will not say we are seeking revenge but we want to reclaim the
title. The harder they come the harder they fall. Nigerians should count on
us," he said.
Also speaking, the Most Valuable Player in the match against
South Africa Asisat Oshoala expressed gratitude to God for giving us victory
over South Africa, stressing that it was not an easy win.
"We are happy to reach the final and by the Grace of
God, we shall reclaim the title. I thank God for giving me those goals that
gave us the win and if I get the chance to score again in the final, I will
gladly take it but it does not matter who score so long as we win the
cup," she stressed.
The Golden shoe and golden ball winner at this year's FifA U-20 Women’s World Cup said she is not under any pressure to score in the final, adding that the Super Falcons are blessed with plenty of goal bangers who can score vital goals to win.
