Super Falcons foreign pros Desire Oparanozie and Francisca Ordega have promised to reclaim the African Women’s Championship (AWC) in Namibia.
The overseas stars also expressed joy at rejoining the national team.
Oparanozie said she almost lost hope because her club did not want to release her but expressed happiness that she has finally joined the team and she is rearing to go.
“My club almost did not release me because of the matches we have to play in the league,” said Oparanozie, who features for En Avent de Guingamp in France.
“I am happy that they released me and I am finally here to join my team mates to help Super Falcons do well at the AWC and reclaim the trophy.”
“I am happy to be back to the Super Falcons for the AWC after not being part of the team for the last championship in Equatorial Guinea. My club in Russia stopped me then and the same thing wanted to repeat now, but I bluntly refused,” added Ordega.
“I am happy to be here now. I promise to put in my best to see that Falcons reclaim the AWC trophy and bring back the glory days to Super Falcons.”
The duo arrived camp Tuesday night from their European bases and had their first training with the Falcons on Wednesday.
