Oshoala was the match winner against Zambia in a group game, while Ordega is making her first appearance at the 2026 WAFCON.
The inclusion of Saudi Arabia-based forward Ordega on the final squad has been widely criticised as several younger players have bene playing well overseas.
Otherwise, coach Justine Madugu has maintained the team he has lined up at this tournament with Chiamaka Nnadozie keeping her place in goal despite a poor performance, while joint leading scorer with two goals Uchenna Kanu will lead the charge for goals in this must-win clash.
Kick-off time in Casblanca is 9pm.
