According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the African champions will open their training camp in Nigeria on Saturday, April 11, 2026, ahead of the encounter with the Blue Sharks.
This friendly comes on the back of Nigeria’s recent two-legged series against Cameroon (Indomitable Lionesses) in Yaoundé, where the Super Falcons lost the first leg 0-1 but bounced back strongly to win the second leg 3-1.
Key Details
- Opponent: Cape Verde
- Camp Opening: April 11, 2026 (in Nigeria)
- Purpose: Fine-tuning squad cohesion and match sharpness ahead of WAFCON 2026
Cape Verde, though ranked lower than Nigeria, have shown steady improvement in recent years and will provide a useful test for Coach Justine Madugu’s team.
The Super Falcons remain the defending WAFCON champions and are expected to be among the top favourites when the tournament kicks off in Morocco July this year. This April camp and friendly series form part of a structured build-up to defend their continental crown.
More details regarding the exact kick off time, venue, and squad for the Cape Verde friendly are expected to be released by the NFF in the coming days.
