This highly anticipated encounter will take place on Thursday evening at the Bordeaux Stadium in France, marking the beginning of Nigeria's quest for Olympic glory. Fans from both countries are eager to witness the skills and strategies that will unfold on the pitch.
The Super Falcons aim to secure a medal in a challenging group that includes formidable opponents like Spain and Japan.
