SUPER FALCONS TO FACE ALGERIA IN TWO FRIENDLIES BEFORE 2028 OLYMPIC QUALIFYING TIE AGAINST MOROCCO

Nigeria will play two international friendlies against Algeria on November 30 and December 4 as preparations continue for the next round of the African qualifiers for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face Algeria in a two-match international friendly series during the next international window as the team continues preparations for the 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign.

The first encounter is scheduled for November 30, 2026, at the 5 July 1962 Stadium in Algiers, with kick-off at 6:00 PM.

The two countries will meet again on December 4 at the Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium in Tizi-Ouzou, with the second match scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM.

The double-header comes after Nigeria secured qualification for the next round of the African Olympic qualifiers with a 7-0 aggregate victory over Comoros.

The Super Falcons defeated Comoros 2-0 in the first leg on October 9 before recording a convincing 5-0 victory in the return fixture at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, on October 13.

Uchenna Kanu and Toni Payne scored twice each in the second leg, while Christy Ucheibe converted a penalty to complete the five-goal victory.

Nigeria will face Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in the next round of the Olympic qualifiers, with the tie scheduled within CAF’s February 23 to March 6, 2027 window. Exact match dates and venues are yet to be confirmed.

The matches against Algeria will therefore provide the Super Falcons with an opportunity to maintain their competitive rhythm, assess their squad options and build towards the important encounter against Morocco.

Africa has two qualification places available for the women’s football tournament at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, making the upcoming qualifying rounds crucial for Nigeria’s ambition to return to the Olympic stage.
