The Super Falcons of Nigeria have unveiled 22 players who will play against South Africa Women for the Paris 2024 ticket, MySportDab reports.
There are a number of new faces who got their invite to the team under coach Randy Waldrum who hope to overcome South Africa.
The Super Falcons are expected to go on a two legged tie against the Banyana Banyana who have proved to become a tough nut to crack in their past few games.
Chidinma Okeke makes her return after a longtime missing on the list which for so many is the biggest shock to see happen.
The game between Nigeria and South Africa Women is the last round of qualifications for the football tournament in Paris 2024 Olympic game.
The male team of Nigeria failed to make it through leaving the female side as the only hope left of making it happen.
The Super Falcons are still waiting to make it for the Olympics Games which they have missed out for so many years.
Randy Waldrum is looking to end the whole wait by making sure he put in a tactic to break down the South Africa women team.
