Danjuma confirmed the appointment in Abuja late Tuesday at the team’s training camp ahead of the two-legged qualifying fixture.

Desire Oparanozie led the Falcons to the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup where they were lost out in the second round.

Danjuma, the Nasarawa Amazons’ coach, was named Falcons interim coach after Thomas Dennerby resigned citing interference on the job.
