The two veterans will be playing in their eighth and ninth final tournament respectively. On the other end of the age spectrum are 20-year-olds Desire Oparanozie and Asisat Oshoala.
Both scored four goals in the two qualifiers, with Oparanozie having already represented the Super Falcons at the World Cup in 2011, while Oshoala won the adidas Golden Boot and Golden Ball at the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Canada earlier this year.
Nigeria will face C?te d'Ivoire - who knocked out Equatorial Guinea on the away goals rule after two draws - Zambia and the hosts Namibia, who are making their first-ever appearance at the finals and will play Zambia in the opening game on Saturday. The Brave Gladiators' coach Jacqueline Shipanga said it was very important that they picked up maximum points from their first Group A match.
