"It is a good thing for the players, it is an opportunity for them to stamp their foot in the Super Falcons team.
If given the opportunist to play they should be able to prove themselves. Every player that got the invitation came here on merit.
So the ball is in their court. No player is special, they all have equal opportunity to prove that their invitation is not a fluke."
Meanwhile Captain of Edo Queens Goodness Onyebuchi, has commended the entire technical crew of the Super Falcons for the honour done them, stressing that they will do their best if given the opportunity to play.
"in fact we are excited this an opportunity we have been praying for, now that we have it, we will try our best to make good use of it.
I'm particularly happy because it will give us the opportunity to meet with our seniors, those who are already playing top flight football in different clubs in Europe.
Again we will learn a lot from them which I believe will help boost our playing career."
"I'm confident that the one week fiesta will be a great showpiece for Women football in Africa. It is.going to be a great experience for us who are home- based.
It will also help us greatly most especially now that we are preparing for the NWFL new premiership season.
We in Edo Queens are happy to be part of this historic event which is the first in Africa."
