“I am impressed with the sessions I have had with the ladies since I got in. It’s a process and we just started. We want to build from where we stopped from the qualifiers because I still have the players we used to execute those matches. Just waiting for the foreign -based to join the team ‎and we will continue.

“When we get to Cameroon‎ we will take each and every of our matches one at a time, but right now the main objective is to prepare the team well for the tournament. I know that everyone is expecting us to go to Cameroon to do well. By God’s grace, with sound preparation we will do well,” Omagbemi concluded.

The overseas -based Super Falcons players expected are: Rita Chikwelu (Umea IK, Sweden); Ngozi Okobi (Vittsjo FC, Sweden); Faith Ikidi (Pitea IF, Sweden); Ngozi Ebere (PSG Ladies, France); Evelyn Nwabuoku (Avant Guingamp, France); Desire Oparanozie (Avant Guingamp, France); Francisca Ordega (Washington Spirit, USA) and; Asisat Oshoala (Arsenal Ladies).
