Nigeria or South Africa in Group of Death
The winner of the match between both colossus of the African women's game have been placed in Group C with current World and UEFA Nations League champions Spain.
They will not only have to play World number one, Spain, but they have also been drawn with number seven-ranked Japan, and the team ranked 10th in the world, Brazil.
Given Nigeria’s showing at the last World Cup and South Africa’s at the last AFCON, they will be expected to hold their own, making Group C undoubtedly the proverbial Group of Death.
