As they gear up to defend their Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco, Nigeria’s Super Falcons will take on Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses in two friendly matches in Yaoundé.
The matches are scheduled within the FIFA Women’s International Window from 24th February to 7th March, with the first clash on Saturday, 28th February, and the second on Tuesday, 3rd March.
The two sides previously met in a pre-tournament friendly ahead of last year’s WAFCON in Morocco, where the Super Falcons emerged 2-0 winners at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta.
NFF General Secretary Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, MON, said:
“We have concluded everything that has to do with the two friendly matches, in conjunction with our counterpart body in Cameroon, FECAFOOT. Our commitment is to ensure the Super Falcons are well-prepared to retain their WAFCON title in Morocco and qualify for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Brazil.”
FECAFOOT General Secretary Isaac Mandong added:
“We are excited about the opportunity to host the Nigeria national team and to strengthen the ties between our two federations through this collaboration.”
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed the 13th Women Africa Cup of Nations will run from 17th March to 3rd April 2026 in Morocco. All four semi-finalists at the tournament will secure direct qualification for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The Super Falcons, 10-time WAFCON champions, claimed their 10th title last summer in Morocco, defeating Tunisia, Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, and hosts Morocco on their path to victory.
