Nigeria coach Thomas Dennerby named a squad of 27 players for a final training camp in Austria ahead of next month’s women's World Cup in France.

The bulk of the group is from the team who won a record 11th African women’s championship in Ghana last year.

Three-time African Player of the Year Asisat Oshoala from Barcelona who is set to feature in this weekend's Champions League final as well as France-based striker Desire Oparanozie are in the squad.

The Super Falcons will leave Austria on June 4 directly for Reims, where they open their World Cup campaign against Norway four days later.
