The Super Falcons' camp has welcomed its latest additions, Uchenna Kanu and Chiwendu Ihezuo, bringing the total number of players to 20, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Only two players, defender Oluwatosin Demehin and forward Chinonyerem Macleans, are yet to arrive at the team's Hotel Barceló Montecastillo Golf and Resort.

With a full camp expected by Friday, head coach Randy Waldrum and his assistants will have five days to work with the entire squad, including alternates, before a training match against Olympic champions Canada on Wednesday.

Team captain Rasheedat Ajibade was among the first arrivals, alongside goalkeepers Chiamaka Nnadozie and Tochukwu Oluehi, defenders Chidinma Okeke and Nicole Payne, midfielders Christy Ucheibe, Toni Payne, Deborah Abiodun and Jennifer Echegini, and forward Esther Okoronkwo.

The team will depart for Paris, France next Thursday, a week before their big task and group opener against Brazil in Bordeaux.
