Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to take on Cape Verde in a series of international friendlies later this month, Prompt News reports.
The dates and venues for the matches are yet to be confirmed, but they are expected to be scheduled during the upcoming FIFA international window for women.
The Super Falcons previously faced the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon in two friendly matches during the last international break as part of their build-up.
These fixtures form part of Nigeria’s preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which has been rescheduled to kick off in July after initially being slated for March.
Nigeria has been drawn in Group C alongside Malawi, Zambia, and Egypt. Meanwhile, Cape Verde—set to make their debut at the tournament—will compete in Group D with Cameroon, Ghana, and Mali.
The WAFCON 2026 tournament will also serve as the qualification pathway for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
