Ahead of the 2014 African Women’s Championship billed for Namibia, Acting Chief Coach of the Super Falcon, Edwin Okon, has revealed his plan to invite 45 players into the camp for February’s qualifying game against Sierra Leone.

Okon said although he will be opening the camp with the home based players, his door is widely opened to the legion of foreign players.

“The camp for the 2014 AWC qualifier will be open soon and I have it in mind of calling up like 40 to 45 players. I will be decamping those that couldn’t measure up while I will still be on the look out for capable replacement.

“I will start with the players I am used to but my doors are not totally closed on foreign-based players and others discovered in the Nigeria School Sports Competition, National Sports Festival and other competitions.

“I am on the lookout for players that will be able to make Super Falcons to return to the formidable squad of old and wherever I get them doesn’t really matter to me,” Okon said.

Nigeria will host the Leone Queens on February 14, 2014 in Abuja before travelling to Freetown for the return leg on the weekend of 28 February to March 2, 2014 to seek a second round ticket.

The AWC will serve as the qualifiers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup which Canada is billed to host in 2015. The first three countries in Namibia, 2014 AWC will hoist the African flag in Canada.
