The Super Falcons of Nigeria on Tuesday overcame Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses in a friendly encounter decided inside the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital.
The Nigerian women’s team are already Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) bound.
Score Push
Captain Rasheedat Ajibade scored both goals, first in the 28th minute from the penalty spot, and then in the 43rd minute after capitalising on a swift team move, assisted by Rinsola Babajide.
Coach Justine Madugu said the victory is a good psychological boost for his squad as they continue preparations for the 13th Women AFCON taking place in Morocco, 5 to 26 July 2025.
Aiming for More
Nigeria will be aiming for a 10th triumph in the competition, having won the trophy nine times since it was launched as a tournament in 1998.
The Super Falcons also won in 1991 and 1995, when it was staged only as home-and-away FIFA World Cup qualifying games.
