Head Coach Justine Madugu has announced a 20-player squad for the Super Falcons' upcoming international friendly match against France. The encounter is scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, France.

CAF Awards nominee and goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defenders Osinachi Ohale and Ashleigh Plumptre, midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Jennifer Echegini, and forwards Gift Monday and Rinsola Babajide are among the players called up for the match.

Other notable invitees include US-based defender Michelle Alozie, Turkey-based Oluwatosin Demehin, midfielder Adoo Yina, and forwards Mercy Omokwo and Ifeoma Onumonu.

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade, also a CAF Awards nominee, will miss the match due to injury. However, the Falcons will welcome the encounter as part of their preparations for the 2025 Women Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The match against France will serve as a valuable test for the Falcons, who have been drawn alongside Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana in Group B of the Africa Cup final tournament.
