Goalkeeper Chiamaka Cynthia Nnadozie says the Super Falcons are fully focused and ready to give their best ahead of Saturday’s international friendly against Cameroon in Yaoundé.
Speaking at the team’s base in Yaounde Nnadozie dismissed any talk of pressure, insisting the players are concentrating on their performance despite Nigeria’s recent dominance over the hosts.

“There is no pressure on us. We will focus on ourselves and give our best. It will be a tough match because they will come out strong, even though it is a friendly,” she said.
She also urged fans at home to continue supporting the team, assuring them the players will not disappoint.
Preparations intensified on Thursday evening with the arrival of five additional players in camp, taking the number of players to 22.
Nnadozie led the latest arrivals, alongside defenders Osinachi Marvis Ohale, Michelle Chinwendu Alozie and Isah Sikirat, as well as forward Chinwendu Ihezuo.
The quintet joined Jennifer Echegini and Comfort Erhabor, who arrived earlier on Thursday.
A day earlier, Rinsola Babajide, Shukurat Oladipo, Folashade Ijamilusi and Kafayat Shittu were among the first players to report as camp officially opened in the Cameroonian capital.
Team captain Rasheedat Ajibade also reported early, alongside Oluwatosin Demehin, Christy Ucheibe and in-form attacker Monday Gift, as the squad gradually assembled for the double-header against the Cameroon Indomitable Lionesses.
With most invited players now in camp, head coach Justine Madugu has a near-complete squad to assess fitness levels and tactical options ahead of the two friendly matches.
Nigeria will conclude preparations with a final training session at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo on Friday evening.
The first friendly will be played on Saturday, with the second encounter scheduled for next Tuesday.
