upcoming FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">After previous outings in 2015 and 2019 editions, the Rosengard midfielder will be making her third appearance at the global showpiece when they will begin against Canada on June 21.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Having made seven Women\u2019s World Cup appearances in previous two-edition, the 28-year-old is no stranger to playing on the big stage as she looks forward to hitting the ground running again.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cFirst of all, I want to thank God for making it possible for me to make it to my third Women\u2019s World Cup,\u201d Ayinde told\u00a0<strong>NigeriaFootball.ng<\/strong>.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAnd it\u2019s a great feeling for me and my career, I\u2019m really excited and grateful, and I can\u2019t wait for a great performance from me and the entire team.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The former Eskilstuna United star had been the last player to join the camp few days to the conclusion of their final preparations in Gold Coast due to logistic reasons.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Despite her unfortunate late arrival, the former Delta Queens midfielder was among the scorers as the Super Falcons thrashed Lion FC 8-1 in a friendly before heading to its base camp in Brisbane.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cI\u2019m happy to have scored against Lion FC, and I think it\u2019s a good mentality to carry into the main competition,\u201d she concluded.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Ayinde has two African Women\u2019s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title to her name with the Super Falcons in 2014 and 2016.\u00a0At U-20 cadre, she was part of the Falconets side the finished second at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The career story of the Super Falcons strong midfielder is compelling., having being born to mixed race of Yoruba and Igbo parents in Kaduna, a core Northern state of Nigeria.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Ayinde chose a part not too familiar and popular as a young girl growing up in a conservative and religious environment, which forbids women to getting involved in the sport.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">She however, was never deterred by the strict environment where girl-children are traditionally not heard but stayed home as she indulge in the spot, disguising to play on the streets with the boys.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Interestingly, her father a retired military officer did not stand against her wish and neither did her mum as her family will be cheering her to glory at the Women\u2019s World Cup, beginning this week.<\/div>\n<div
