Super Falcons to face Cameroon in friendly matches
Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to face Cameroon in two friendly matches as part of preparations ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) scheduled for Morocco.
Both teams will clash in Yaoundé on February 28 and March 3.
In a statement by Ademola Olajire, the spokesperson of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), its general secretary, Mohammed Sanusi, noted that the federation was committed to ensuring proper preparation for the team.
“We have concluded everything that has to do with the two friendly matches in conjunction with our counterpart body in Cameroon.
“Our commitment is to ensure that 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,” Sanusi said.
On his part, Isaac Mandong, the general secretary of the Cameroon Football Federation, said, “We are excited about the opportunity to host the Nigeria national team and to strengthen the ties between our two federations through this collaboration.”
All four semi-finalists at the WAFCON, billed to begin from March 17 to April 3, 2026, will qualify directly for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Brazil.
The Super Falcons won their 10th Women’s AFCON title in Morocco in 2025.
