Looking for information on the 'Super Falcons' next match or some of their recent fixtures, we've got you covered in this article. Nigeria’s women’s national team, the 'Super Falcons', had an eventful year in 2024. After having a walkover in their Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifying tie against São Tomé and Príncipe, the 'Super Falcons' overcame Cape Verde 7-1 on aggregate to book their place at the tournament, which will be hosted by Morocco in August 2024.

Nigeria then shifted focus to the Olympic Games qualifiers where they defeated Ethiopia and Cameroon's 'Indomitable Lionesses' en route to the final qualifying round. There, they edged reigning African champions South Africa 1-0 on aggregate over two legs, thanks to a Rasheedat Ajibade penalty, thereby securing a spot at the 2024 Olympics as one of two African representatives.

After their group-stage exit at the Paris Olympics, Nigeria’s 'Super Falcons' returned to action with renewed direction under interim coach Justin Madugu, appointed by the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to lead the team after Randy Waldrum’s departure. The team faced Algeria in a two-legged friendly series as Madugu began his tenure. The Falcons emerged victorious in both fixtures, starting with a solid 2-0 win in Ikenne before securing a commanding 4-1 victory in Lagos.

These matches marked Madugu’s debut on the sidelines and underscored a promising shift in momentum for Nigeria’s women’s team as they seek to rebuild for upcoming international engagements with a base of home-based players. The 'Super Falcons' were back in action in November, facing the French Women’s National Team in an international friendly that ended in a 2-1 defeat. Following that, the 'Super Falcons' next match is yet to be confirmed. As soon as that information is available, however, you will be the first to know.
