Super Falcons Face Portugal in Lisbon Friendly as WAFCON Preparations Intensify

Posted : 23 June 2025

The Nigerian senior women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, will face off against Portugal in an international friendly match scheduled for today in Lisbon. This encounter forms part of Nigeria’s build-up to the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) taking place in Morocco next month.

The friendly match is one of two fixtures the Falcons are expected to play in Portugal during the ongoing FIFA international window, offering the technical team a valuable opportunity to assess player form, refine tactics, and strengthen team chemistry ahead of the continental showpiece.

Head coach Justine Madugu has expressed confidence in the team’s readiness, following encouraging performances in previous warm-up games, including a win against Cameroon during a domestic camp earlier this month.

Following their Portuguese test, the Super Falcons are expected to travel to Morocco, where they will engage Ghana’s Black Queens in a final preparatory match before the start of the tournament on July 6.

Nigeria has been drawn in Group B of the 2024 WAFCON alongside Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana. With nine continental titles to their name, the Falcons will aim to reclaim the trophy and secure a record 10th championship, building on the momentum gained during their European training camp.

Today’s match not only offers a competitive challenge against a strong European side but also provides an ideal platform for testing new combinations and evaluating squad depth ahead of the demanding tournament in Morocco.
