AWCON 2018: Falcons coach invites 48 to Lagos camp

Super Falcons head coach Thomas Dennerby has invited 48 players who are expected to report to the team’s camp on Wednesday ahead of the 2018 Africa Women’s Championship holding in Ghana.

29 home based and 19 overseas based players led by captain Onome Ebi are expected to report to the Jubilee Chalets in Epe to commence preparations for the tournament which begins on November 17.

The camping will be in two phases with the locally based players expected to kick-start the first phase before the foreign-based professionals join the squad at the end of the month.

Having won the AWCON for a record eight times the Falcons will be hoping to defend the title they won in Cameroon two years ago.
