In the projected starting XI, six-time African Player of the Year Asisat Oshoala will be starting from the bench, as captain Rashidat Ajibade will lead the Super Falcons.

Her presence on the bench will be a strategic move by the coaching staff to introduce her as an impact substitute against a tiring opposition defence, or it might suggest a more cautious approach to manage her minutes, possibly due to fitness or a desire to maintain squad depth.
