Comfort Erhabor, an England-based goalkeeper, has expressed her excitement and deep gratitude upon receiving her first call-up to Nigeria's national women's football team, popularly known as the Super Falcons. The 20-year-old goalkeeper from Portsmouth FC Women took to her social media to celebrate what she describes as a dream come true, thanking God for the opportunity. Her selection comes ahead of Nigeria's preparation for friendlies against Cameroon, a crucial stage leading up to the WAFCON tournament.

In the 25-player squad announced by head coach Justine Madugu, Erhabor is one of two players making their debut in the senior team setup, the other being Precious Christopher, a midfielder who currently plays in Tanzania. The squad also marks notable returns such as striker Gift Monday from Washington Spirit and midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene from Canada, highlighting a blend of experience and new talent. However, the absence of seasoned players like Asisat Oshoala, who plays in Saudi Arabia, draws attention, indicating shifts within the team as they aim to bolster their performance.

This call-up for Comfort Erhabor not only reflects her individual skill and potential but also sheds light on Nigeria's emerging talents in women's football. As the Super Falcons gear up for important fixtures against Cameroon, the inclusion of fresh faces like Erhabor could inject new energy into the squad. The dynamics within the team will be closely monitored as they prepare for the upcoming WAFCON, with hopes high for a strong showing on the continental stage with a deeper talent pool at their disposal.
