Super Falcons To Face Ghana In Final WAFCON Warm-Up
Nigeria's Super Falcons will take on Ghana's Black Queens in an international friendly on Saturday as part of their preparations for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The warm-up match will be played at the Stade El Arbi Zaouli in Casablanca, where the Nigerian team is currently holding its pre-tournament training camp.
The Super Falcons, led by head coach Justine Madugu, opened camp on Monday with several key players already in camp, including captain Rasheedat Ajibade, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defenders Oluwatosin Demehin, Glory Ogbonna, Shukurat Oladipo and Rofiat Imuran, midfielder Jennifer Echegini, and star striker Asisat Oshoala.
The team is also scheduled to hold its first training session at the Stade El Arbi Zaouli as preparations intensify for the continental tournament.
Nigeria will begin the defence of its WAFCON title against Malawi before facing Zambia in its second Group B fixture. The Super Falcons will conclude the group stage against Egypt.
The nine-time African champions are aiming to secure an 11th WAFCON title, with the tournament's four semi-finalists earning automatic qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.
