Super Falcons Welcome Folashade Ijamilusi for Olympic Qualifiers

The Super Falcons' preparations for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games qualifying campaign received a boost with the arrival of China-based forward Folashade Ijamilusi, who plays for Lianiong Baiye. She became the 15th player to report to camp in Ikenne, Ogun State, ahead of the first-leg encounter against Comoros at the Remo Stars Stadium.

The squad, which aims to secure a place at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, had 14 players present for a training session prior to Ijamilusi's arrival. Key players expected to join include captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Jennifer Echegini, and Michelle Alozie.

Interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen has made several changes to the original squad, releasing Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Favour Nkwocha to join the Flamingos for the U17 World Cup, excusing Ashley Plumptre due to injury, and noting that Asisat Oshoala will also miss the match. Eguavoen has drafted in Blessing Okpe to bolster the squad as they intensify training for the upcoming fixture.
