Nigeria coach Dennerby invites 26 players for Wafu Women's Cup

Rivers Angels midfielder Nwabouku Evelyn and Ibom Angels goalkeeper Ohiaeriaku Christy made Nigeria's 26-player squad for the 2019 Wafu Women's Cup in Abidjan.

The Super Falcons' squad is dominated by home-based professional players, comprising of four goalkeepers, six defenders, seven midfielders and nine forwards.

Dennerby also handed out invitations to former youth internationals like Efik Peace, Joy Jerry, Joy Bokiri, Ologbosere Mary and Okeke Chidinma.

Foreign-based players were not left out as Sevilla's Payne Toni, Turkey-based Sunday Esther and USA based Kanu Uchenna made the cut.

The 26 invited players are expected to hit camp at the Serob Legacy Hotel, Abuja on Sunday, April 28.
