According to a very credible Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) source, Nigeria and Algerian football authorities have sealed an international friendly match between the Super Falcons and Les Fennecs in Algiers in a fortnight during November to December 2026 FIFA international football window to prepare the team adequately for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics qualifiers 3rd round two-legged fixtures against Morocco scheduled for February and March, 2027.

“The NFF in  collaboration with the National Sports Commission (NSC) are desirous to see the Super Falcons qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. For this reason, I am happy to to inform you that the federation have secured a high-profile international friendly match for Super Falcons against Algeria women’s national team in this November to December FIFA international window to prepare the team adequately for the 3rd round two-legged fixtures against Morocco next year”, the elated NFF source disclosed in Abuja.

Nigeria failed to qualify for next year’s global women’s football showpiece in Brazil next year and is now condemned to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games Women’s Football Tournament and would want to exploit every opportunity to prepare well against any opposition in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics African qualifiers.
