La Liga is a partner with the women league and most of these players are playing back home here in Nigeria, the only thing that La Liga can do is to continue to support the league and we are doing that. If things continue well, we hope to see them win the trophy." He said.

To the former Real Sociedad player said Coach Christopher Danjuma has what it takes to galvanise the team to victory.
"He is an experienced coach and he has been with the players for so long. He has the experience of coaching the team. I think he has what it takes to take them to the title in Costa Rica."
The Nigeria ladies have a perfect record going to Monday's encounter after winning all their matches and will be seeking to get one pass the Dutch ladies.
