Current Africa Women's Footballer of the Year Asisat Oshoala and the duo of Onome Ebi and Tochukwu Oluehi are three Super Falcons players who have been named in the CAF Best XI for the group stage of the 2018 CAF Africa Women's Nations Cup holding in Ghana.

Oshoala fired blanks in Nigeria's first game of the tournament, a 1-0 defeat to South Africa and the 4-0 win over Zambia but grabbed a hat trick in the 6-0 mauling of Equatorial Guinea on Saturday in which she was named the Woman of the Match.

Onome Ebi (defender) and Tochukwu Oluehi (goalkeeper) have also been impressive, having barnstorming performances that ensured that the team did not concede again after the opening game's set back.

Chrestina Kgatlana who scored the goal for South Africa in the Group B opener against Nigeria also made the cut.

Influential striker, Desire Oparanozie and winger Francisca Ordega were named in the Substitutes list.

Ordega has helped herself to two goals and two assists in the two games the team scored a total of ten goals while Oparanozie who assisted one of Oshoala's goals over the weekend has scored twice.
