Super Falcons To Face Cape Verde In International Friendly

The Nigerian women’s national football team, Super Falcons, are set to face Cape Verde in an international friendly match scheduled for April, as part of preparations for upcoming continental and global competitions.

The encounter is expected to provide both sides with an opportunity to test new players, refine tactics, and build cohesion ahead of future tournaments, including the next edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

This follows Nigeria’s recent two-legged friendly against Cameroon women’s national football team in Yaoundé during the last FIFA window between February and March 2026.

The Super Falcons’ camp is expected to open in Nigeria on April 11, with players beginning preparations ahead of the proposed friendly.

For Nigeria, the fixture will serve as another opportunity for the technical crew to assess squad depth, integrate fresh talent, and maintain the core group that delivered recent success on the continent.

Cape Verde, on their part, are expected to use the match to measure their progress against one of Africa’s most successful women’s national teams, gaining valuable experience against high-level opposition.

The game is also seen as part of broader efforts to improve the Super Falcons’ international exposure, who have, in recent times, had limited friendly opportunities ahead of major competitions.

Officials have yet to announce the exact venue and kickoff time, but the fixture is expected to be played during the April international window.

The friendly comes as Nigeria continues to consolidate its dominance in African women’s football while preparing for upcoming challenges on the continental stage.
