Nigeria’s Super Falcons will resume camp on February 20 as preparations step up for the defence of their Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) crown.
Officials confirmed to Sportsblog247.com that the 10-time African champions will begin training in Nigeria before departing for Abidjan to take part in a WAFU B invitational tournament. The competition will feature hosts Côte d’Ivoire, alongside Ghana and Senegal, and will run from February 27 to March 7.

The invitational tournament forms part of Nigeria’s build-up to the 2026 WAFCON, which kicks off on March 17. The tournament also doubles as a qualifying pathway for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, with the four semi-finalists earning automatic World Cup tickets.

At the finals, Nigeria have been drawn in Group C, where they will face Zambia, Egypt, and Malawi as they bid to extend their dominance in African women’s football.
