Several players have already reported to camp, including team captain Asisat Oshoala, Taiwo Afolabi, Folashade Ijamilusi, Miracle Usani, Joy Omewa, Aderline Mgbechi, Blessing Illivieda, and Kafayat Mafisere.

Super Falcons are expected to have their first training session when the squad number increases as more players arrive to complete the team.
