All three countries are former world champions, with Spain being reigning champions following their victory at the 2023 World Cup jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
Nigeria’s best outing at the Olympics was in 2004, when they made it to the quarterfinals of the competition.
Despite suffering a setback in a 1-0 defeat to Brazil in their opening game on Thursday, Oparanozie, while speaking on 54footballX, remained confident that the Falcons can progress to the knockout rounds.
“Yes, we will come out,” she affirmed when asked if Nigeria would progress from the group stage.
“It’s between Spain and Japan for the top spots, and Nigeria will pick the third place. Brazil is going home. We will lose one, draw one, and win one.”
