The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) has announced an exciting international friendly between the Super Falcons and France’s national women’s team, Les Bleues. This anticipated clash is scheduled for Saturday, November 30, 2024, at Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, France, with kick-off at 9:30 pm local time.

Fresh off a successful two-match series against Algeria, where they defeated the Green Ladies 2-0 and 4-1 on Nigerian soil, the Super Falcons are eager to continue their winning form. This fixture against France will serve as a critical test for the Nigerian team as they prepare for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), set to take place in Morocco next July.

The friendly holds significance for both sides. While Les Bleues will use it to sharpen their skills ahead of the League of Nations and UEFA Euro Women’s Championship in 2025, the Super Falcons see it as an invaluable opportunity to blend promising home-based talents into their squad under the guidance of head coach Justine Madugu. This encounter marks only the seventh time France’s women’s team will play in Angers, adding further prestige to the event.
