The Super Falcons camp in Seville is buzzing with excitement as African Best Player Asisat Oshoala and her US-based teammate Ifeoma Onumonu arrive for training ahead of the Olympic Games in Paris. Their arrival brings the total number of players in camp to 16 as of Wednesday morning.
Midfielder Regina Otu and defender Jumoke Alani, whose visas were just secured by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), are expected to join the camp later today. The pair departed Abuja last night with assistant coach Justin Madugu. Alani faced visa delays, while Otu was a late addition by head coach Randy Waldrum after Onumonu replaced the injured Halimatu Ibrahim Ayinde.
