Three Swedish-based Nigerian stars, who play in the top league Damallsvenskan, are set to represent the Super Falcons at the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon next month.<br /><br />They include Faith Ikidi (Pite&aring;), Rita Chikwelu (Ume&aring; IK) and Ngozi Sonia Okobi (Vittsjo), and the trio expressed their happiness at being called to the national team. <br /><br />Rita Chikwelu was out in the international wilderness until she was invited to the Super Falcons squad that tackled Senegal in April. <br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m very happy to have the opportunity to play with the Super Falcons again. It is a great honor for me. For various reasons I have not had the chance to play in the National Team since 2012 in the Nations Cup, except for two qualifying matches against Senegal in April. <br /><br />&ldquo;We will have a good team traveling to Cameroon, I know our coaches will prepare the team and the players in the best way for the tournament. <br /><br />&ldquo;We professionals abroad have been playing a long season and we are all in great shape,&rdquo; Chikwelu told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>. <br /><br />She added : &ldquo;Faith Ikidi has as usual had a very good season in Pite&aring; as a central defender, Okobi has trained hard and played many good matches. <br /><br />&ldquo;I believe in our team and it&rsquo;s a good mix of players from Nigeria and professionals. &rdquo;<br /><br />In Sweden, the Nigerian players in Damallsvenskan are:&nbsp; Faith ikidi (Pite&aring;), Rita Chikwelu (Ume&aring; IK), Sonia Okobi<br />(Vittsj&ouml;), Josephine Chukwunonye (Vittsjo), Ogonna Chukwudi (Orebro) and Sarah Michael (Orebro). <br /><br />All the players are important for their teams and Nigerians should all be proud of them.<br /><br />Rita Chikwelu had again a very good season. Her team Umea has been hit by injuries but Rita has carried the team on her shoulders.&nbsp; She has been one of the best midfielders in Damallsvenskan this year.<br /><br />Faith Ikidi was voted Defensive Player of the Year 2015 in Sweden, a prize that she could have had even several times before. She has caught the eyes of many in her games and is a role model for many Swedish footballers.<br /><br />Okobi has worked hard in the midfield in a new tough league. Her physical status has never been better and her great technical skills are improving.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br /><br /><span class="st">Photo Credit : Umea IK</span><br />
