Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene is excited with her return to the Super Falcons after a long absence from the 10-time African champions, DAILY POST reports.
Okobi last featured for the Super Falcons at the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Ottawa Rapid star was omitted from Nigeria’s squad to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The 32-year-old then took time off football due to pregnancy and child birth.
Okobi received a surprise invitation for Super Falcons’ double-header friendlies against Cameroon last week.
The former Falconets declared she is honoured with the invitation.
“I’m excited, and happy to be back in the team again. I’m grateful, and honoured. I can’t talk about my expectations at the moment . The way I do things is to take one step at a time,” Okobi told the Super Falcons media.
“I have seen a lot of messages, criticism in the social media which I don’t to care about . I know what I did, and what has happened to me since child birth. It’s a blessing and not a cause.”
The midfielder has made 27 appearances for the Super Falcons.
