“Dreams definitely come true. Truly no words to describe the feeling, but thanks to everyone.”
17 players, excluding Asisat Oshoala, had been invited for the encounter by Dennerby last week, and now, Omidiji will join in at the Mercure Le Mans Centre when the team camp opens.
The US born player was last invited to the camp of Nigeria’s U-20 side Falconets ahead of a 2016 World Cup qualifier against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
