The Super Falcons of Nigeria are aiming for a 12th appearance at the African Women Cup of Nations AWCON, having always featured in the event since its inception in 1991.

Head Coach Justine Madugu has invited Captain Rasheedat Ajibade, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and 23 other players for the two international friendly matches for Super Falcons against their Algerian counterparts.


The matches are scheduled for Saturday, 26th and Tuesday, 29th October, at the icturesque Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos Island.


It is the first time that the nine-time African champions are playing friendly matches on home soil since the Aisha Buhari Invitational Tournament which was held at the same venue three years ago.


Before then, they hosted the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project, Abuja in 2014.


Madugu has also called Turkey-based defender Oluwatosin Demehin, Comfort Folorunsho of Edo Queens, Spain-based Gift Monday and a long
list of home-based professionals and a couple of Falconets who featured at the FIFA Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia last month.
