Falcons call up 33 for Cameroon

Super Falcons coach Uche Eucharia has called up 27 players for next month’s Olympic qualifying second leg match against Cameroon.

The squad has 27 players from the domestic league and six playing abroad.
Veteran forward Perpetua Nkwocha leads the list of six foreign-based professionals, while skipper Precious Dede is at the top of the domestic player pile.

The squad are expected to start the first instalment of a two-phased training camp on September 29 at Millenium Hotel, Abuja.

The second phase will hold at Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Nigeria travel to Cameroon with a slim 2-1 lead from the first leg, with the winner of the two-legged tie joining South Africa at next year’s Olympic Games.
