Nigeria’s Super Falcons is expected to face the Canadian women national team twice in April in games designed to celebrate the North American ladies’ triumph at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo last August.
The Super Falcons is ranked sixth in the world powered to their first-ever gold medal in the Summer Olympics football contest by thrashing Sweden 3–2 in the penalty shoot-out after both teams drew 1–1 after extra time in the final.
Nigeria has decided to join in the Canadians’ celebratory tour, with both sides scheduled to face-off in a two-match series. The first game will take place on April 8 in Vancouver, while the second match will be played three days later, on April 11, at the Starlight Stadium in Langford.
Canada’s head Coach Beverly Priestman, while confirming the friendlies, expressed pleasure at facing the most successful African women’s national team.
