Nigeria’s Super Falcons
The Nigeria Football Federation and the South African Football
Association have agreed on two international friendly matches between
their senior women teams for the month of June.
In a letter to the Nigeria Football Federation on Thursday, the South
African Football Association confirmed that their Senior Women’s Team,
Banyana Banyana, will take on the Super Falcons in the first leg in
South Africa on Saturday 2, June with the second leg taking place in
Nigeria on June 23.
“We are delighted to announce that the two games have been confirmed,
as it would be good knock-around for our girls. We believe the Super
Falcons will overcome the challenge of Zimbabwe to go and defend their
African title in Equatorial Guinea in November.
“Apart from these two matches with the Banyana Banyana, one of the
strongest women teams in Africa, the NFF is also working hard to get
more games for the Falcons in order to make them much better,” said NFF
General Secretary, Musa Amadu.
The NFF is also at the verge of consummating other friendlies and
invitational tournaments for all categories of national teams, including
the U-15 National Boys’ Team, which is set for an Eight-nation
Invitational Tournament in Mexico in June.
While the U-20 Men’s Team, Flying Eagles, will defend their title at
the Cape Town Invitational Tournament in Cape Town, South Africa in May,
the Super Eagles will also play a friendly match against the Panthers
of Gabon towards the end of May, after their match against
Peru in Lima on May 21.
