Are you looking for info on the Super Falcons next match or some of the recent fixtures of the team, we've got you covered in this article.
Nigeria’s women’s national team, the Super Falcons, enjoyed an eventful year in 2023 but have been busier in what has been a very packed 2024.
The African giants made a huge impression in the minds of many with their excellent performance at last year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, where they reached the round of 16.
After that, the team regrouped for the qualifiers for the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and the Paris Olympic Games, having been tasked with some tricky fixtures.
After having a walkover in their qualifying tie against Sao Tome and Principe, the Super Falcons overcame Cape Verde 7-1 on aggregate to book their place at the WAFCON, which will be hosted by Morocco in August 2024.
Nigeria then shifted focus to the Olympic Games qualifiers where they defeated Ethiopia and Cameroon's Indomitable Lionesses en route to the final qualifying round. There, they edged reigning African champions South Africa 1-0 on aggregate over two legs, thanks to a Rasheedat Ajibade penalty, thereby securing a spot at the 2024 Olympics as one of two African representatives.
Super Falcons next match, times and venue revealed
Following their group-stage exit at the Paris Olympics, Nigeria’s Super Falcons returned to action with renewed direction under interim coach Justin Madugu, appointed by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to lead the team after Randy Waldrum’s departure.
The team faced Algeria in a two-legged friendly series as Madugu began his tenure. The Falcons emerged victorious in both fixtures, beginning with a solid 2-0 win in Ikenne before securing a commanding 4-1 victory in Lagos.
These matches marked Madugu’s debut on the sidelines and underscored a promising shift in momentum for Nigeria’s women’s team as they seek to rebuild for upcoming international engagements with a base of home-based players.
The Super Falcons were back in action in November, facing the French Women’s National Team in an international friendly that ended in a 2-1 defeat.
Following that, the Super Falcons next match is yet to be confirmed. As soon as that information is available, however, you will be the first to know.
