WAFCON 2022: Two Super Falcons in CAF's team of the tournament

Super Falcons stars Rasheedat Ajibade and Osinachi Ohale have been included in CAF's 2022 Women Africa Cup of Nations team of the tournament. 

The Nigerian stars were included alongside nine African players selected by CAF technical study group. Ajibade finished as the joint-top scorer in the competition with three goals and two assists to her name. 

The Atletico Madrid star scored against South Africa in Nigeria's opening game before further goals against Burundi and Cameroon. Meanwhile, Ohale was one of Nigeria's best players in the competition. 

The Deportivo Alaves star was rock solid in Nigeria's defence, playing all the games. Ohale and Ajibade made the team despite Nigeria's failure to win a medal.
