Super Falcons Head Coach Justine Madugu has named a 23-woman squad ahead of two international friendlies against Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses.
The squad features captain Rasheedat Ajibade, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, midfielder Toni Payne, defender Michelle Alozie, and forward Rinsola Babajide, among others.
Defenders Osinachi Ohale, Oluwatosin Demehin, and Shukurat Oladipo, midfielders Deborah Abiodun and Jennifer Echegini, plus forwards Ifeoma Onumonu and Francisca Ordega also make the cut.
The teams will clash first at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne-Remo on Saturday, May 31, before meeting again at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta on Tuesday, June 3.
These matches are crucial preparation for Nigeria ahead of the 13th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, scheduled for July 5–26. Cameroon, having missed out on this year’s tournament, will use the games to stay sharp for future challenges.
All invited players are expected to report at the Am2Pm Hotel, Ijebu-Ode by Monday, May 26.
Nine-time champions Nigeria will face Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana in Group B at the WAFCON finals.
