“We are planning and working hard to get the gold for Nigeria. I am so excited today and confident in the Lord.

“We have worked hard, and we believe in God, and we are going to come home with the trophy by the grace of God.”

The Flamingos will open their campaign against New Zealand at the Estadio Cibao Santiago de los Caballeros on Wednesday.
