The Super Falcons won a record-extending 10th title at the competition.

Ordega made just one appearance for the Super Falcons at the tournament as she was hampered by injury.

The 31-year-old has won WAFCON title five times with the Super Falcons.

The winger has 26 appearances for Nigeria with seven goals to her name.
