WWC Inter-continental Playoffs: Mame Cisse’ Releases Teranga Lionesses List Of 23

Mame Moussa Cissé unveiled on Thursday a list of 23 players called up for the 10-team Intercontinental play-offs of the Women’s World Cup.

A little under two weeks before the match against Haiti, counting for the first round of the play-offs for the next World Cup, the list of the National Women’s team was aired. Mame Moussa Cissé’s team is without much surprises.

The backbone of the Lionesses have been maintained, especially expatriates.

Complete list:

Goalkeepers : Tenning Sène (AFA), Adji Ndiaye (DSC), Thiaba Gueye Sène (Aigles de Médina)

Defenders: Anta Dembélé (DSC), Salimata Ndiaye (AFA), Marième Babou (USPA), Mame Fatma Diagne (USPA), Mbayang Sow (OM, France), Meta Camara (Yzeure, France), Astou Sy (DSC), Wolimata Ndiaye (DSC)

Midfeilders : Jeannette Sagna (USPA), Adjaw Edmée Diagne (DSC), Bineta Korkel Seck (DSC), Safietou Sagna (FC Metz, France), Korka Fall (DSC), Ndeye Awa Diakhaté (OM, France)

Forwards : Haby Baldé (DSC), Mama Diop (OM, France), Hapsatou Malado Diallo (USPA), Coumba Sylla Mbodji (USPA), Jeanne Coumba Niang (USPA), Nguenar Ndiaye (Bourges Foot 18, France)

Of the 21 internationals who won the WAFU Tournament in Cape Verde, only four will not be in New Zealand. They are: Ndeye Ndiaye Kane, Aminata Ba and Aminata Kanté, and midfielder Gladys Irène Dacosta. Thus, they free up space for expatriates who were not present in Cape Verde.

Mbayang Sow, Meta Camara, Safietou Sagna, Ndeye Awa Diakhaté and Mama Diop are the players plying abroad on the list.

The Teranga Lionesses left for Auckland on Friday. Moussa Cissé’s ladies will have a 12-day camp before the game against Haiti on February 18th.
