Coach Justin Madugu has announced a 23-woman Super Falcons squad ahead of upcoming international friendlies versus Cameroon. Captain Rasheedat Ajibade and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie pace the lineup, while striker Asisat Oshoala is notably absent. +
+
The squad blends Europe-based talent with home-grown stars, featuring midfielders like Jennifer Echegini (Paris Saint-Germain) and Christy Ucheibe (Benfica), alongside local league standouts such as Blessing Ilivieda and Miracle Usani. +
+
Madugu's selections signal a focus on youth and balance. With fresh faces blending with experienced campaigners, the team aims to solidify its [preparation ahead](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/youth-development-and-scouting/) of WAFCON 2024 in Morocco. The side will gather in Ijebu-Ode on 26 May before for 31 May in Ikenne and 3 June in Abeokuta. +

Editorial +
+
We believe Coach Madugu’s [squad announcement](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/match-previews-and-reviews/) reflects a progressive vision for Nigerian women’s football. Opting to exclude Asisat [Oshoala](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/sports-betting/bet9ja/) a global star in favour of a blend of domestic talent and emerging youth indicates a forward-thinking strategy focused on long-term team coherence and resilience. +
+
The blend of home-based stars with Europe’s elite will promote competitiveness and unity within the squad. This mix promises a vibrant, dynamic playing style essential for tackling the rigours of WAFCON competition in [Morocco](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-history/) this July. +
+
Madugu’s approach conveys a vote of confidence not just in new talent but in the broader Nigerian football development system. It demonstrates that opportunities exist beyond established names a powerful motivator at [grassroots level](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/news/nigerian-football-news/). +

As the team congregates and fine-tunes for [Cameroon](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/technology-in-football/) friendlies, we trust this diversity will strengthen their cohesion.

Unity and [encouragement](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-history/) now pave the way for pride and triumph later. +
