Nine players have arrived at the team’s training camp in Casablanca.
The team’s media officer, Mary Akinsola, disclosed that the early arrivals include captain Rasheedat Ajibade, first-choice goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and veteran forward Asisat Oshoala.
Others are Glory Ogbonna, Christy Ucheibe, Fatima Oloko, Oluwatosin Demehin, Rofiat Imuran and Shukurat Oladipo.
Akinsola said more players and members of the technical crew were expected to arrive in camp in the coming days as preparations intensified for the continental showpiece.
The 2026 WAFCON will be held in Morocco from July 25 to Aug. 16, with Nigeria aiming to reclaim the title and extend its record as Africa’s most successful women’s national team.
The Super Falcons are drawn in Group C alongside Egypt, Malawi and Zambia and are expected to begin full-scale training once the squad is complete.
