Nigeria U-20 women’s hanball team skipper, Oluwatoyin Yusuf has declared that they cannot be considered favorites in the qualification series ongoing in Niger Republic despite victories against Togo and Benin Republic.
Speaking with brila.net, Oluwatoyin noted that although the players know they are the best around in Niger, the fact that the host nation will want to make most use of the home advantage has to be taken into full consideration
“We believe in our hearts we are the best here but the fact that we are in a foreign land, I don’t expect us to be seen as favourites. The only way to prove them wrong is to win the competition”
The Nigerian girls have so far remained unbeaten in the opening two matches.
