Randy Waldrum, Super Eagles head coach, has named a 25-player provisional list ahead of Super Falcons’ summer series tour of America.

However, only 23 players from the list will make it to the tour that will pit the Falcons against the USA (four-time world champions), Portugal, and Jamaica.

The tournament is billed to commence between June 10-16 in Houston, Texas.

Asisat Oshoala, fresh from becoming the first African player to earn a UEFA Women Champions Cup title, leads the list alongside Francisca Ordega, who newly joined Levante Femenino, and Onome Ebi, Rasheedat Ajibade.

Waldrum also included 10 home-based players in the provisional squad.

It's finally here!
