Super Falcons stars Imuran, Demehin set for Reims debut

Super Falcons stars Rofiat Imuran and Tosin Demehin are set to debut for French Feminine Division 1 side Stade De Reims on Friday.

The former Rivers Angels defenders were unveiled by the French club on Thursday and are expected to go straight into the match day squad for the trip to capital club Paris FC.

Imuran, a left back and Demehin, a centre back were key components in Nigeria Under 20s’ quarter final run at the last FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup held in Costa Rica in the summer.

They have since made two appearances for the senior team in friendly games against USA Women’s National team in September but both missed the defeat to Japan last week.

Should Reims coach Amandine Miquel give any of the duo minutes, they will be coming face to face with their international teammate Chiamaka Nnadozie who plays for Paris FC.

Stade de Reims are currently fifth on the Feminine Division 1 log with six points from four matches, four points adrift of Paris FC who are in third spot. Friday’s game kicks off at 5:30pm Nigerian time.
