D’Tigress head coach, Rena Wakama on Tuesday unveiled her 12-player rooster for the 2024 Olympic Games.
16 players made the trip to Germany for a training tour two weeks ago.

The 12 players include team captain Amy Okonkwo, Elizabeth Balogun, Nicole Enabosi, Promise Amukamara, Murjanatu Musa, and Ifunaya Okoro.
Others are Pallas Kunayi, Blessing Ejiofor, Ezinne Kalu, Olaoluwatomi Taiwo, Lauren Ebo, and Adebola Adeyeye.
The four players who did not make the final 12 are Solape Amusan, Rita Igbokwe, Christeen Iwuala, and Lucy Ibeh. READ ALSO:
