NFF Releases Names Of Super Falcons Players For US Tour

Desire Oparanozie’s name is missing. She has been frozen out of the team since leading a protest over bonuses and pay during the 2019 World Cup in France. It has been alleged that some members of the NFF are keeping her out of the team to punish her for leading that protest. It was also alleged that the former coach, Thomas Dennerby resigned because he refused to allow anybody interfere with his team selection (that is, to exclude Oparanozie from the team).

The four-nation women’s competition, tagged the Summer Series, is scheduled to be held from June 10 to 16.
