Scotland international pair Ifeoma Dieke and Kim Little have been named in the Team GB women's football squad for the forthcoming Olympics.

The duo are the only two non-English representatives in Hope Powell's 18-strong selection.

Glasgow City's Jane Ross is one of four players named on the reserve list for the tournament, should any of the current squad drop out.

American-born Dieke, who plays as a defender for Swedish club Vittsjo GIK, has 90 caps for Scotland and made her debut against Greece in 2004.

Little, who plays for Arsenal Ladies, has 23 goals in 70 international appearances for Scotland, having debuted against Japan in 2007.

The Team GB women's football squad will kick off their campaign against New Zealand on July 25, before taking on Cameroon and Brazil on July 28 and 31 respectively.
