Nigeria, one of only seven countries that have never failed to qualify for the Women's World Cup since the competition was launched in China 32 years ago, will tackle Olympic champions Canada, co-hosts Australia and Republic of Ireland in the group stage of the biggest FIFA Women's World Cup finals ever, in group B of the tournament that begins on 20th July.
