Super Falcons set for France friendly as Plumptre returns

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have announced a 20-woman squad for their upcoming international friendly match against France, scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers.

Head Coach Justine Madugu has called up a mix of experienced and young players, including CAF Awards nominee, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defenders Osinachi Ohale and Ashleigh Plumptre, midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Jennifer Echegini, and forwards Gift Monday and Rinsola Babajide.

Plumptre’s return to the team is a significant boost, as she has been missing in action for the Super Falcons since featuring last year in the Round of 16 World Cup clash against England.
