Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Republic of Ireland head coach, Vera Pauw says her team have no fear for nine-time African champions, Super Falcons of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The debutants will face co-hosts, Australia; Olympic champions, Canada; and Nigeria in Group B following the official draw for the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup which took place in Auckland on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pauw\u2019s side will face the Super Falcons in their final group game at the Lang Park, Brisbane on July 31.<\/p>\n

It will be the first meeting between both countries at the international level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat opening game [versus Australia], wow \u2013 it\u2019s fantastic. There\u2019s a huge Irish community in Australia and I think a lot of people over there will face a bit of a dilemma over who they support in that one,\u201dPauw told her country\u2019s FA official website.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bit of a shame that we\u2019re drawn in the toughest teams in Pot 4 in Nigeria, but we won\u2019t fear anyone. It\u2019s a tough group but a very exciting one.\u201d<\/p>\n
