“We will resume camping on Monday in Abuja for the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana,” Dennerby said.

“We plan to have two phases of training camps in Abuja. The first phase will run for two weeks with the home-based players. The foreign players will be joining us before the end of the month.
