“You have done very well by getting to the final. I urge you to crown your efforts with ultimate victory tomorrow (Sunday) by playing with the greatest possible artistry, discipline, determination and patriotic zeal.

“I look forward to receiving you at the Presidential Villa with the winners’ trophy and you can be assured of the immense gratitude of the Federal Government and the very appreciative people of Nigeria,” Jonathan stated.

To reach the final of the competition, Super Falconets were on slow start by playing 1-1 draw with Mexico,  defeated Korea Republic 2-1 and England 2-1 in the group stage.

However, they were on fire at the knockout stage by overpowering New Zealand 4-1 and thrashed Korea DPR 6-2.

Sunday’s final is a rematch of the 2010 final in which German girls defeated Falconets 2-0 to lift the cup on their home soil.
