Super Falcons  coach, Florence Omagbemi, is confident that Nigeria will defeat Senegal in a  Cameroon 2016 Africa Women’s  Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday.
The Falcons, who won the tournament  in Namibia in 2014, will play Senegal in Dakar for a place in the competition.
Omagbemi told thenff.com that the Falcons would not only defeat their West African rivals over two legs but would also defend their  title.
The former international  said she was happy with the quality of players in the team after beating FC Eaglenet of Abuja 1-0 in a warm-up match.
“The way we are now, we are ready for Senegal,” Omagbemi said.

“We are the defending champions, and we just have to be really prepared so that we can remain on top. Most teams in Africa want to beat Nigeria, and we will not let that happen.”
According to the Nigeria Football Federation, the  Falcons will  travel to Senegal on Tuesday  for the first leg of the qualifier.
The Senegalese Football Federation confirmed  the first leg match would  take place on Friday, while the NFF  also confirmed the return leg will be played on April 12.
Senegal beat Guinea in the first round to book a place against the African champions.
