Coach Peter Dedevbo has invited 36 players to camp as he kick-starts the U-20 Women National Team, Falconets’ preparation for next month’s 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture against Liberia.
Each of the 36 girls are expected to report at the team’s Serob Legacy Hotel, Abuja camp on Tuesday, 23rd June, 2015 with her training kit, medical certificate of fitness and international passport.
Dedevbo, who led the Falconets to the final of the last edition of the FIFA World Cup in Canada last year, has recalled goalkeeper Sandra Chiichii (inexplicably dropped from the Super Falcons’ final team to the FIFA World Cup in Canada), as well as midfielder Osarenoma Igbinovia and striker Chinwendu Ihezuo.
Dedevbo has also called a number of players who starred in the U-17 team at the FIFA World Cup in Costa Rica early last year, including Ugochi Emenayo, Esther Elijah, Tessy Biawho, Uchenna Kalu, Mary Ologbosere, Joy Bokiri and Rashidat Ajibade.
