The Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne has been designated as the venue for an upcoming two-match friendly series between the Super Falcons of Nigeria and their counterparts from Cape Verde. The high-profile exhibition games are slated to take place on Wednesday, April 15, and Saturday, April 18, serving as a critical testing ground for both nations.
These international fixtures are designed as a strategic preparatory phase for both squads as they gear up for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). For the Super Falcons, these games offer an opportunity to fine-tune their tactical approach and evaluate squad depth under competitive conditions ahead of the continental showpiece.
History favors the Nigerian side in this matchup, as they previously dominated Cape Verde during the 2023 WAFCON qualification cycle. During those encounters, the nine-time African champions displayed their clinical edge by securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory on the road before delivering a comprehensive 5-0 performance in the return leg on home soil.
To ensure the team is in peak physical and mental condition, the Super Falcons are scheduled to begin their intensive training program in the nation’s capital, Abuja, this coming weekend. The early commencement of the training camp underscores the importance of these fixtures in building the necessary momentum for their upcoming African title defense.
