With a consistent presence in the finals since 2002, the Falconets are eager to secure another World Cup ticket.
The team arrived in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, undertaking light training sessions to overcome jet lag.
An official training session at the match venue is scheduled for Saturday to further prepare for the crucial encounter.
Led by Head Coach Chris Musa Danjuma and Captain Oluchi Ohaegbulem, the squad includes notable players such as Faith Omilana, Jumoke Alani, Taiwo Afolabi, and Opeyemi Ajakaye.
