She said, "Imo Striker Queens FC is fully ready, just like every other team that has registered for this championship. We are aware of the competition from other teams going into this tournament, but one thing is certain, we are not going to Ijebu Ode to make up numbers. We are going there to fight for the ticket to the Nigeria Women Football League.

"We are not under any pressure. Every team going into this tournament has a chance to pick the tickets. We respect every other team but we are not scared of any of them, not even the big names.

"Football is a 90 minutes game, it's either you win, draw, or loose. The organizers should just make it a level playing ground for everyone. Women Football is growing faster in Nigeria and we will continue to give our best to ensure our football gets to it higher target."
