The Norway-based defender has joined the Super Falcons camp in Lagos after being handed a late invitation<\/div>\n
\n

Arna-Bjornar’s Ngozi Ebere has earned a late invitation to the\u00a0Nigeria<\/a> women’s side for Monday’s clash against Cote d’Ivoire.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old, who played a part in the Super Falcons’ second-round triumph over\u00a0Algeria<\/a>, was surprisingly left out by coach Christopher Danjuma for the qualifier game against the Ivorians.<\/p>\n

After his side’s laboured to a 0-0 draw in Abidjan in the first, the interim tactician sent a late call-up to the veteran defender, who was subsequently granted release by her Norwegian outfit.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving the call-up on Thursday, the former Rivers Angels star arrived in Nigeria on Saturday night and was well-received by her teammates at their base in Park Lane Hotel in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Ebere’s immediate task in Nigeria colours will be helping the African champions get past Clementine Toure’s side at the Agege Stadium, Lagos.<\/p>\n

She will be expected to have her first training session with the team during their final build-up on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

A second leg win will secure Nigeria a ticket to the fourth round of the African Women’s Olympic qualifiers, where they will take on either Cameroon or the Democratic Republic of the Congo next month.<\/p>\n
