Nigeria’s Super Falcons have regrouped in Yaoundé, Cameroon, training hard and sharpening tactics as they prepare for the second match of their two‑leg friendly series against the Indomitable Lionesses. This comes after a tight 1–0 loss to Cameroon in the first encounter, ending Nigeria’s long unbeaten run against their neighbours.
Head coach Justine Madugu has mixed experienced stars with promising newcomers in the squad, hoping the return fixture will give his team a chance to build momentum and iron out tactical areas ahead of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco this month.
The friendly series is seen as a vital dress rehearsal for the Falcons, who are gearing up to defend their continental title. The coach views these matches not just as results to chase but as opportunities to assess player combinations and strengthen squad cohesion before the big tournament.
Fans and pundits alike will be watching on Tuesday, when the Super Falcons take to the field again to try to even the score and fine‑tune their approach ahead of their WAFCON campaign.
