Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Osinachi Ohale, and forward Asisat Oshoala headline a list of 22 players invited to the Super Falcons’ camp for this month’s Paris 2024 Women's Olympic Football Tournament qualification fixture against the Senior Women National Team of Ethiopia.
Ethiopia will host the first leg of the second-round fixture in Addis Ababa on Wednesday, Oct. 25, with the second leg in Nigeria on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Ethiopia eliminated Chad in the first round of the series as nine-time African champions Nigeria drew a bye.
The Super Falcons, who finished 8th at the 32-team FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Australia and New Zealand in the summer, also drew a bye to the third round of the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations qualification series after Sao Tome and Principe’s senior girls scratched the tie.
The Falcons will be up against their counterparts from Cape Verde in the third round of that series at the end of November.
Paris, France, will host next year’s Women's Olympic Football Tournament. The Super Falcons played at the Olympics in 2000, 2004, and 2008.
