Barcelona of Spain forward, Asisat Oshoala, tops the list of six foreign-based players that also include Ngozi Okobi, Ngozi Ebere, Rasheedat Ajibade, Francisca Ordega and Oshinachi Ohale.
Meanwhile, Dennerby will prosecute tomorrow’s first leg of the second round of the Olympic qualifier billed for Bilda, Algeria, with a squad of entirely home-based players.

To qualify for the second round of the Olympic qualifier, Algeria beat Chad 3-1 on aggregate, while African champions, the Super Falcons received a bye into the second round.
