Super Falcons to play single friendly against Cameroon over late arrival

The Super Falcons of Nigeria’s two upcoming friendly matches with the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon were reduced on Friday to one game.

The decision was taken following the late arrival of the Cameroon contingent to honour their invitation.

The Super Falcons are preparing for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) set for July, and have enlisted their neighbours who failed to qualify for the tournament for the friendly matches.

The first match was scheduled for May 31, with the second leg taking place on June 3.

However, the Super Falcons have announced June 2 for the one-off encounter via a social media post.
