Ottawa Rapid (Canada) star Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene is set to make her return to the Super Falcons after a three-year absence.
The attacking midfielder was named in the squad for the upcoming double-header friendlies against the Indomitable Lionesses on Thursday.
Her surprise recall has put her in contention for a spot in the Super Falcons’ squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
“God be praised. Thank you @thenff,” the former Washington Spirit star wrote on X.
At 32, Okobi has earned 27 caps for the 10-time African champions and has lifted the WAFCON trophy four times with the team.
