WAFCON: Super Falcons Land In Casablanca
About The Author
The delegation of Nigeria’s title aspirants, Super Falcons, arrived in Morocco’s economic capital, Casablanca on Wednesday night from the Portuguese capital, Lisbon for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The nine-time African champions played a gutsy game to hold their Portuguese counterparts to a scoreless draw in a friendly at Lisbon’s Estádio José Gomes on Monday evening. Goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Shukurat Oladipo and veteran forward Francisca Ordega each had a game to remember.
Nigeria’s first match of the 13th Africa Cup of Nations finals will be against Tunisia’s senior women national team at the Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca on Sunday, 6th July, before other games against Botswana and Algeria in the group phase.
