Fresh off a successful two-match friendly series against Algeria, the nine-time African champions Super Falcons are gearing up for a high-profile encounter with France’s women’s national team, Les Bleues. The match, scheduled for November 30th at the Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, France, will serve as an important test for both teams as they prepare for major tournaments on the horizon.
The Super Falcons, led by coach Justine Madugu, thoroughly dominated their Algerian counterparts in their recent home fixtures, winning 2-0 and 4-1 respectively. The strong performances from the home-based professionals in the Nigerian squad have further bolstered the team’s confidence ahead of the clash with the formidable French side.
For Les Bleues, the match against the Super Falcons is part of their preparations for the upcoming League of Nations in the spring and the 2025 UEFA Women’s Championship in Switzerland. The French national team will be eager to use this opportunity to fine-tune their strategies and assess their readiness for the challenges.
While the Super Falcons welcome the high-profile friendly as a chance to recruit a new-look squad and further their preparations for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, the Les Bleues also look forward to the encounter as a valuable experience on their road to future success.
