Okobi may be nearing the end of her professional career, having played just seven times for Liga F side Levante despite joining the club in February 2023.
She has also not played for the Super Falcons for nearly two years after Randy Waldrum omitted her from the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup and Paris 2024 Olympics squads.
Okobi has a successful international career, playing at two Women's U17 World Cups in 2008 and 2010, at the 2012 Women's I20 World Cup and has won four Africa Women's Cup of Nations.
Even though she has been sidelined from the squad for nearly two years and may not feature, her involvement at the 2024 AWCON is doubtful, as it would come months after she has put to bed.
Oshoala dreams of Olympics in Africa
Legit.ng previously reported that Asisat Oshoala dreams of an Olympic tournament on African soil after watching the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Games.
The continent has yet to host the event in its 128-year history, but the Bay FC striker believes the African culture will beautify the event after the controversies surrounding the opening ceremony.
