En route to the last four, the Atlas Lioness emerged as group A winners with maximum points from three matches.
Waldrum however, said he has utmost respect for what the Moroccans have done and admits Nigeria will have to be at their to win the tie.
“We have respect for Morocco and the way they have played in this tournament. It’s a big challenge for us.
“Certainly, we have a lot of experience and a lot see us as favorites, but in football everything is possible and we have to be ready for this game,” said Waldrum.
The Moulay Abdellah Sports Complex is venue of Monday’s mouthwatering semi-final clash.
