The Super Falcons' preparations have received another boost with the arrival of Esther Okoronkwo, Michelle Alozie and Uchenna Kanu at the team's training camp in Casablanca, Morocco, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The trio's arrival takes the number of players in camp to 22 as Nigeria intensifies preparations for its opening match of the tournament.

Three more players—Folashade Ijamilusi, Deborah Abiodun and Gift Monday—are expected to arrive later on Monday at the team's Marriott Hotel base, bringing the squad closer to full strength.

The Super Falcons commenced their final phase of preparations last Monday under head coach Justine Madugu, with training sessions focused on fine-tuning tactics and building match fitness ahead of the competition.

The nine-time African champions are scheduled to relocate to Rabat, where they will play all their group-stage fixtures.

Nigeria will open its campaign against Malawi's Scorchers at Al Madina Stadium in Rabat on Tuesday, July 28, as the Super Falcons begin their quest for another continental title.Note: The original article states that Nigeria will begin its "title defence."
