Canada head coach Kenneth Heiner-Møller has said that today’s international friendly against Nigeria’s Super Falcons at the Pinatar Arena in Murcia Spain will afford her the opportunity of evaluating the
playing style of world cup opponents Cameroon.

Heiner-Møller told the Canadian Football Federation official website, “We have been looking for a strong African opponent ever since we drew Cameroon in the group stage of the FIFA Women’s World Cup.”

"This is a great opportunity for us to better understand the style and how to play around it."

The last time both Nigeria and Canada met was eight years ago in their last group match of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Germany which the former won by a lone goal scored by Perpetua Nkwocha.

Head coach, Thomas Dennerby has promised to break the jinx at this year’s tournament where the Africa champions are drawn against host side France, Norway and South Korea in Group A.
