Oshoala on the bench for Super Falcons
The Super Falcons, eager to secure a victory after their goalless draw in Douala, have undergone tactical adjustments as they prepare to face their fierce rivals.
Bay FC’s Oshoala, a key figure in the squad, has made way for Esther Okonkwo, whose stellar performance in the previous match saw her unfortunate goal disallowed.
Okonkwo's inclusion brings a fresh attacking dynamic to the team, as Waldrum aims to break down Cameroon's defense and secure a vital win.
Additionally, Joe Echegini will step into the starting lineup, replacing Halimatu Ayinde in midfield.
The midfield alteration reflects Waldrum's strategic vision for the game, as he seeks to bolster the team's presence in the centre of the park and maintain control over proceedings against a formidable opponent.
With the stakes high and the pressure mounting, the Super Falcons are poised for a thrilling showdown against Cameroon, with the hopes of their nation resting on their shoulders.
The winner of the game between Nigeria and Cameroon is expected to face WAFCON champions, South Africa in the next round of the Paris 2024 qualifiers.
