International friendly: Super Falcons' camp swells as 25 players report to camp

Posted : 23 October 2024

Head Coach Justine Madugu has expressed delight that all 25 invited players are already in camp as the team prepares for its first training session at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, ahead of the two international friendly matches against the senior women’s national team of Algeria.

“I am very happy that all the invited players are here.

“We will be able to have four days of full training sessions and be in great shape for the first game.

“We thank the Nigeria Football Federation for arranging these two games for the Super Falcons.”

However, the heavy downpour in Lagos on Tuesday made the training session impossible, forcing the team to return to Eko Hotel & Towers for gym sessions.

The nine-time African champions will take on the Algerian girls at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Saturday, October 26, and again at the same venue on Tuesday, October 29. Both matches will kick off at 4 p.m.

A 35-member Algerian delegation is scheduled to arrive in Nigeria on Thursday morning aboard a Qatar Airways flight, with the match officials from Benin Republic also scheduled to arrive in Lagos the same day.

The Beninese quartet of Aurore Christine Ligan, Nafissatou Yekini Shitou, Sonia Emilie Louis, and Laurande Offin will officiate the two matches, with Ligan serving as the referee for the first match and Offin as the fourth official. Offin will be at the center for the second match, with Ligan taking on the role of fourth official.

The Nigeria Football Federation will appoint a match commissioner for each of the games.
