Super Falcons Set for Double Clash with Cameroon Ahead of WAFCON

Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses in two international friendly matches as part of their build-up to the 13th Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) scheduled for Morocco later this year.

The reigning champions, who have lifted the trophy a record 10 times, will meet their Cameroonian rivals in Yaounde on Saturday, 28th February, and again on Tuesday, 3rd March 2026, within the FIFA Women’s International Window.

Both federations confirmed the fixtures, with Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, MON, stressing the importance of the games in preparing the Falcons to defend their continental crown and secure qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil next year.

‘We have concluded everything that has to do with the two friendly matches, in conjunction with our counterpart body in Cameroon, FECAFOOT. Our commitment is to ensure that the Super Falcons are well-prepared to retain their WAFCON title in Morocco and qualify for next year’s FIFA Women’s World Cup finals in Brazil,’ Sanusi said.

His Cameroonian counterpart, Isaac Mandong, welcomed the opportunity to host Nigeria, describing the collaboration as a chance to strengthen ties between the two federations.

The Confederation of African Football has confirmed that the 13th Women Africa Cup of Nations will run from 17th March to 3rd April in Morocco, with the four semi-finalists earning automatic tickets to the World Cup in Brazil.

Nigeria clinched their 10th WAFCON title in Morocco last summer, defeating Tunisia, Botswana, Zambia, South Africa, and hosts Morocco along the way.
