Burundi are without a point after two games, but still aiming to pick one of the best tickets to the quarter final.
However standing in their front is the biggest team on the continent, the Super Falcons of Nigeria who themselves also need to win the game to seal passage to next round.
“We are going to play against a very experienced team at the WAFCON. We want to go into this game to correct our past mistakes in the two games that we have played so far and we hope to do well,” explained Falonne Nahimana, who turns out for Huddersfield TAFC in the UK.
About featuring at the biggest tournament for women’s football on the continent, Nahimana added that,
“I am very grateful to the federation for giving me the opportunity to play for the Burundian team and tomorrow’s match is a match of my dreams to play against a great team like Nigeria is a great opportunity. For us as players, we need to go and fight as a team and do it with respect for our country.” she said.
The Swallows lost 4-2 to Botswana and 3-1 to South Africa but Nahimana believes that they have what it takes to make amends.
