Nigeria will not boycott its opening game of the FIFA Women’s World Cup against Canada, according to the captain of the side, Onome Ebi.

In a video shared on the Twitter page of the senior female national team, she dispelled the report saying, “Honestly, I have no idea where that came from. We have not heard such conversation among ourselves, so I don’t know where that came from.”
Ebi said the team is in high spirits and ready for the World Cup.
Nigeria is in Group B along with co-hosts Australia, Canada, and debutants Republic of Ireland.
