Super Falcons Step Up WAFCON Preparations With Cape Verde Friendlies

With the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on the horizon, the Super Falcons have lined up a series of friendly matches against Cape Verde women’s national football team to sharpen their edge.

Building rhythm before the big stage

These friendlies, expected during the next FIFA international window, are more than just warm-up games.

They are about:

• building match fitness
• testing tactical systems
• strengthening team chemistry

After recent fixtures against Cameroon women’s national football team, the coaching crew is clearly focused on refining a squad capable of dominating Africa again.

And timing couldn’t be better.

With the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations set for July, every match now carries purpose.

A tricky group and a clear mission

Nigeria’s path won’t be easy.

Drawn in Group C, the Super Falcons will face:

• Malawi women’s national football team
• Zambia women’s national football team
• Egypt women’s national football team

It’s a mix of emerging challengers and dangerous opponents.

But history speaks loudly — Nigeria remains Africa’s most successful women’s team.

The goal? Simple: reclaim dominance.

Why Cape Verde is the perfect test

For Cape Verde women’s national football team, this is preparation for their first-ever WAFCON appearance.

That hunger makes them unpredictable.

And for Nigeria, that’s exactly the kind of opponent needed:

• motivated
• fearless
• eager to prove a point

These are the games that expose weaknesses early — and fix them before it’s too late.

Beyond WAFCON: The bigger prize

This isn’t just about continental glory.

The tournament also serves as qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.

That raises the stakes.

Every training session, every friendly, every tactical tweak — it all feeds into one bigger ambition:

competing on the global stage.

Final whistle

The Nigeria women’s national football team are moving with intent.

No noise. No hype.

Just preparation, precision, and purpose.

Because when WAFCON begins, it won’t be about potential anymore — it will be about results.
