Women's World Cup: Super Falcons base camp made known
The base camp for Nigeria's Super Falcons for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 has been made now by the football world governing body.
Nigeria, who were earlier drawn into Group B alongside co-hosts Australia, 2015 hosts Canada and the Republic of Ireland have had Lions FC Stadium and Sofitel Brisbane Central as the team's TBC.
TBCs serve as a “home away from home” for all teams at the competition, with Lions FC Stadium being Nigeria's training site and Sofitel Brisbane Central as the Super Falcons' accommodation site.
According to FIFA Chief Women’s Football Officer Sarai Bareman, the addition of TBCs at the FIFA Women’s World Cup for the first time will ensure that teams and players are provided with the best possible platform to perform at their peak.
It is the first time in FIFA Women’s World Cup history, that competing countries will use dedicated Team Base Camps (TBC).
With host stadiums shared between the Asian (6 in Australia) and Oceanic (4 in New Zealand) nations, so have the TBCs.
In Australia, 14 TBCs have been confirmed across five host cities and two regional centres for the 14 qualified teams that will play group matches in Australia.
In New Zealand, 15 TBCs have been confirmed across four host cities and three regional centres for the 15 qualified teams that will play group matches in New Zealand.
The three teams that qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup Australia & New Zealand 2023 via the Play-Off Tournament in February 2023 will select their TBC after qualification
