African Women's Footballer of the Year Asisat Oshoala says the Super Falcons are fully aware that Cameroon will be difficult opponents when both teams face off in the semifinal of the Africa Women Cup of Nations on Tuesday.
Nigeria beat the Indomitable Lionesses twice in the 2014 and 2016 AWCON showpiece hosted by Namibia and Cameroon respectively and in 2012, the Super Falcons lost 1-0 in the third place playoff.
''We all know Cameroon is going to be a very difficult game obviously, they are a very good side, difficult side to play,'' Oshoala said.
''We've met Cameroon three times, we've beaten them in the semifinals and finals, so it is going to be a difficult game for us on Tuesday, we all know about that.
''We want to thank the Federation, the President of Nigeria, we want to thank Nigerians and everyone who has been making sure the camp has been in order so far in terms of players' bonuses and everything.
''Everything is in order in the camp so I think come on Tuesday everyone is ready to give one hundred percent.''
The winner of the Cameroon vs Nigeria semifinal tie will qualify for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France.
