The coach of the Super Falcons of Nigeria, Randy Waldrum has released his team list that will represent the country at the next Women's FIFA World Cup.
The team was dominated by foreign-based players, with only two home-based players, Onome Ebi (Abia Angels) and Deborah Abiodun (Rivers Angels), on the roster.
