A Netherland based player, Sophia Omidiji, has received a late call-up to the Super Falcons for Friday’s friendly with France in Le Mans.
Omidiji, who plays for Dutch topflight side S.B.V Excelsior disclosed this on her twitter handle @vegas2nl on Tuesday.
“I am honoured and delighted to do battle with my deserving and amazing sisters who I have watched over the years and made our country proud.
