    Various reports have said veteran Super Falcons star Francisca Ordega has been dropped by CAF from this year’s WAFCON in Morocco for “medical reasons”.

    Super Falcons star Francisca Ordega has been dropped by CAF from this year’s WAFCON in Morocco for “medical reasons”.

    A further explanation of the medical reason was not advanced.

    Russia-based Ordega is said to be one of 10 players from across the teams in Morocco axed by CAF for this reason.

    Zambia star Barbara Banda was also dropped this way.

    A report said Banda was no longer deemed as a woman.

    Ordega has featured in the last four WAFCONs.

    The Falcons open their title defence  against South Africa on Monday evening.

    Meanwhile, Nigeria and South Africa have another day in the sun  as the Super Falcons and Banyana Banyana go to war for three points, in the opening game of Group C of the 12th Women Africa Cup of Nations which began in Morocco on Saturday.

    Monday’s spectacle will see Coach Randy Waldrum send out his best legs against a team considered Nigeria’s strongest opposition on the African continent at the moment, and Coach Desiree Ellis is expected to do likewise as both teams of titanesses battle for crucial three points at the Moulay Hassan Stadium.
