Super Falcons to Prepare for Cape Verde Friendly Match
The Super Falcons, Nigeria's senior women's national football team, are set to open their training camp this weekend in Abuja as they prepare for an upcoming international friendly match against Cape Verde. While the exact date and venue for the friendly match have not yet been announced, it is expected to occur during the next FIFA international window for women's football.
This friendly fixture follows the Super Falcons' previous encounter with Cameroon in Yaoundé during the last international break. The match against Cape Verde is part of Nigeria's preparations for the rescheduled 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which will now take place in July after being postponed from March.
This tournament will serve as a qualifying pathway for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, making the preparatory match crucial for the team's readiness.
