Camp updates as Waldrum drafts in five U20 players to Nigeria squad for United States doubleheader test

Nigeria senior women’s coach Randy Waldrum has invited five members of the Costa Rica 2022 U20 Women’s World Cup team for next month’s two-legged international friendly against United States.

Waldrum has included the Falconets’ stars on his no fewer than 26-woman roster set to seek an upset against the reigning world champions for the first time since last meeting at the Summer Series last June.

The five players include centre back and captain Blessing Oluwatosin Demehin, right back Jumoke Alani, left back Rofiat Imuran, and midfielder Deborah Abiodun and forward Esther Onyenezide.

All invited Falconets’ ladies will be dreaming of an impactful debut at the senior level except for Demehin, who made her debut in the 1-0 defeat to Jamaica at the Summer Series last year on June 10.

The inclusion of the Falconets’ quartet is coming on the heels of the unavailability of some key players due to varying reasons, ranging from visa hitches and club switch.

SavidNews understand that visa hitches had seen Sweden based duo of Halimatu Ayinde and Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene as well Russia based duo of Francisca Ordega and Macleans Chinonyerem ruled out.

As expected, star striker Asisat Oshoala, who won a record fifth African Women’s Footballer of the Year in July, will also not make the trip as she continues to recover from the injury picked during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

In a related development, the Super Falcons camp has since opened in Abuja with Nigeria based players, including those from the U20 side at Serob Hotel on Monday.

Besides the five U20 stars, goalkeeper Christy Ohiaeriaku from Edo Queens, Robo Queens forward Monday Gift and Esther Ogbonna Akudo from Rivers Angels complete the list of eight local players.

With visas secured, the eight home based players and officials are scheduled to depart Nigeria for the United States on Tuesday night to unite with foreign professionals ahead of Saturday’s first match in Kansas City.

The nine-time African champions will battle the reigning World champions in their preparation for the 2023 FIFA World Cup, with first clash at the Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas on 3rd September and then have a go at each other’s jugular once more at the Audi Field in Washington, D. C. on 6th September.

I believe you’re new to this platform or you just started following the Superfalcons…


All her Teammates call her Uncle Rita and even on Social media they post it too. It’s not something to take serious just fun… It’s very Obvious that it’s because of the way she’s built that’s why. If she didn’t allow it, it won’t get to this extent.

I remembered how Nicole Payne and one other girl were calling Ordega Senior Franny..

Like Osinachi Ohale they call her Osi….

It’s just their own way of Calling each other Nothing more.

Relax bro.

"Uncle Rita" is the Rita Chikwelu's common nickname. That's what the falcons and those close to her call her. It's like calling Rasheedat Ajibade "Rash" or Oshoala "Superzee" or Ashleigh Plumptre "Oyinbo". It is by no means demeaning or derogatory.

When they won the 2018 AWCON in Ghana, Rita Chikwelu and Onome Ebi were called by their teammates to come out and dance, While they were dancing they were hailing them Mama and Papa…

Don’t take it Personal okay!

How you comment on public fora is indicative of the kind of person your are.

You wrote "who are they then" to a comment about players excluded from the US friendly and tagged me. Any logical person knows that doesn't need a question mark to sound like I question.

I politely responded indicating that I didn't get the question, you responded with insults.

chaiii you read meaning too much into nothing, that who are they then wasn't meant for you,

since its not your comment I quoted,

And next time stop talking trash about how I behave in public, or have we meet before,

don't you see the lifting emoji to show I was joking.

bros swerve left make I see front biko

There will be gate crashers at the end of the day , Alozie and onumonu were gate crashers in the summer series also the Canada tour there's a girl that gate crash the team

Of course. But we need our main squad if we wish to get anything from the games.

No Ucheibe for the game or what are my Seeing so??

At this stage, it's a case of what you see is what you get cause I really can't justify why we are yet to get a list 3 days to the game logistical challenges notwithstanding. My initial concern of not having the core of the team present is looking very likely (hope I'm wrong sha).

The major issues right now is the availability of the Foreign Based players, This game was made public long ago, I’m still finding it difficult why NFF will always put the team in this kind of Visa Situations.. As if they didn’t plan ahead of the game.. it’s USA we’re playing against for Christ sake not Jamaica or UAE

Roosa Ariyo, Onyinyechi Zogg, Patricia George can easily enter the US without having VISA issues but this Ladies ain’t in Randy’s plan…

At least we have Chiamaka Nnadozie, Tochukwu Oluehi, Osinachi Ohale, Ashleigh Plumptre(not certain), Glory Ogbonna, Rasheedat Ajibade, Uchenna Kanu and the US Based players…

Do you have a personal thing against Ogbonna?

Coz I don't see sound reasons for all your unnecessary trolling of this lass.

Let the lady rest.

It's becoming annoying really. You were scheduled for a friendly months ahead, but keep coming up with the same excuses. It happened with Canada, it's now happening with the USA. It shows the incompetence of those responsible for the team.

If we don't have the core of the team, then the friendly isn't necessary both for the US and Nigeria. The US needs a formidable Nigerian team to prepare themselves for the world cup. They have been in camp preparing to show they don't take this lightly. The Nigerian team is obviously in its formative and rebuilding stage so we need to keep the core of the team together especially when we have opportunities to play world class teams like the USA. If we have key players missing (like it's beginning to look) then why exactly are we having the friendlies??

When last did Ariyo kicked a ball ? I haven't seen play for club brugge yet
