Edwin Edem Okon[1] (born 19 October 1970[2]) is the head coach of Rivers Angels. Born in Cross River State, Okon got a coaching certificate from the sport institute in Lagos State. Following the failure of Nigeria to win the 2012 African Women's Championship, and the subsequent resignation of coach Kadiri Ikhana, Okon was appointed interim head coach of the Super Falcons in 2013.[3]

Nigeria's failure to advance to the knockout-round at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup led to the sack of Okon by the Nigeria Football Federation and was replaced by his assistant, Christopher Danjuma on an interim basis.[4]
