The draw was held on Friday with Chile and
New Zealand completing the group for Coach Bankole Olowookere’s side.
The Nigerian girls had a brilliant run in
the qualification series for the competition. They overcame Egypt, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia en route to the tournament.
They scored 15 goals and conceded none in
the process with Opeyemi Ajakaye striking six times as Nigeria sealed a ticket
to India.
Africa’s other representatives, Tanzania
and Morocco are in Group D and A respectively.
Morocco will also battle hosts India, the
USA, and Brazil in the same group while Japan, Canada, and France complete
Tanzania’s group.
The competition will run from 11th to 30th
October. It was supposed to hold in 2020 but was cancelled due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Spain won the last edition in 2018. They are grouped alongside
Colombia, Mexico, and China.
