As the Super Falcons of Nigeria step up preparations for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup scheduled to hold in Australia and New Zealand between 20th of July – 20th of August 2023, the head coach of the women’s national team Randy Waldrum  has invited 23 players that will prosecute the friendly matches against Haiti women’s national team at the Emir Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey, on April 7 and World Cup co-hosts New Zealand at the Mardan Sports Complex, also in Antalya, on April 11.

The squad list made available by the Communications Department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) also includes team captain Onome Ebi and forwards Asisat Oshoala, Rasheedat Ajibade and the return of Desire Oparanozie from international football exile.
