Additional arrivals are expected as the squad continues to assemble.

The matches form a crucial part of Nigeria’s preparations for the forthcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where the Super Falcons will defend their continental title.

Head coach Justine Madugu, who travelled from Abuja with his technical staff, will use the friendlies to assess squad depth, strengthen team cohesion and refine tactical approaches ahead of the tournament.

Cameroon, long-standing rivals of Nigeria in African women’s football, are also using the fixtures as part of their own preparations.

The Lionesses began camp last week without a substantive head coach since the sacking of Jean-Baptiste Bisseck in October 2025 and are expected to provide a stern test as both sides seek competitive sharpness before the continental showpiece.
