Super Falcons, Black Queens Renew Rivalry in Casablanca Friendly

Posted : 29 June 2025

Nigeria’s Super Falcons will take on arch-rivals Ghana’s Black Queens today (Sunday) in a much-anticipated international friendly in Casablanca, Morocco, as both sides intensify preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The match, which will be played behind closed doors at the Lanouria Complex, marks a significant opportunity for both coaching teams to test tactics, assess player readiness, and build momentum ahead of the continental showpiece.

The Super Falcons, fresh off a goalless draw with Portugal in Lisbon, arrived in Casablanca during the week to continue their training camp. The team is expected to field a blend of experienced campaigners and younger talents, with Coach Randy Waldrum using the game to make final tweaks before their Group B opener against Tunisia on July 6.

Ghana’s Black Queens, under the guidance of head coach Kim Björkegren, have had a productive camp in Benslimane, securing warm-up victories against Malawi (3-1) and Benin Republic (4-2). Björkegren described today’s clash as “a real test,” acknowledging Nigeria’s pedigree as a continental powerhouse.

The encounter adds another chapter to the historic rivalry between the two West African sides, often dubbed the “Jollof Derby.” Nigeria holds the edge in past meetings and boasts a record nine WAFCON titles, while Ghana continues to chase their first continental crown.

With WAFCON 2024 set to kick off on July 5, today’s match will provide vital insights for both teams as they aim to make deep runs in the tournament. Nigeria is grouped with Tunisia, Botswana, and Algeria, while Ghana will face South Africa, Senegal, and Mali in Group C.

While no live broadcast is expected, updates from the closed-door friendly are anticipated through team and federation channels.
