The Super Falcons are set to host Algeria in a pair of international women’s friendly matches on October 26 and 29, 2024.
The Nigeria Football Federation has organized the matches as part of the Super Falcons’ rebuilding process under interim coach Justin Madugu, following the exit of former coach Randy Waldrum.
Sources in Algeria confirm that Nigeria will welcome their North African counterparts for the two-legged friendlies, with a squad largely made up of home-based players.
These fixtures are part of Nigeria’s preparation for the 2024 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where the Super Falcons will aim to secure their 10th title.
Algeria, who qualified for their sixth WAFCON appearance, will also use the games to sharpen their squad ahead of the tournament.
For Madugu, these matches present an opportunity to assess the team’s readiness, strengthen tactics, and build chemistry ahead of the continental competition as Nigeria look to reclaim their dominance in African women’s football.
The venue for the friendly matches has yet to be announced, but final details are expected soon.
