The competition will hold from November 19 to December 3, and the Falcons, led by Coach Florence Omagbemi are in Group B alongside their West Africa rivals, Black Queens of Ghana, Kenya and Mali.
The Falcons won the title two years ago in Windhoek, Namibia, beating the Lionesses of Cameroon 2-0 to commence the journey of the Amaju Pinnick-led NFF board.
It is the first time the African Women Nation Cup is taking place in Cameroon since its inception in 1998.
Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr believes that the Falcons can retain the title.
The Falcons are expected to arrive in Lagos this afternoon to connect a flight to Cameroon.
Rohr, who had earlier been at the Falcons’ training session some weeks ago, said in Abuja that he saw a lot of improvement in the team. The Franco-German tactician told thenff.com: “I have seen a good training match against the boys and I can see the team is better than the last time I saw them. I could see that everyone invited are here: homed –based and foreign –based professionals. And I can see that they work very well with the coach.
