The women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, are set to begin a new life post Randy Waldrum with an international friendly game against Algeria, tomorrow, at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne, Ogun State.
According to thenff.com, The Algerians are lodged at the Eko Hotel & Towers, Victoria Island from where they will move to Ikenne for the first of their two-leg matches tomorrow.
Both teams will clash again on Tuesday, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Onikan, Lagos. The Green Ladies, who have made five appearances at the Women Africa Cup of Nations, with their debut in 2004, were scheduled to train at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena at 5.00 pm yesterday, thenff.com said, adding that both the Green Ladies and the Super Falcons will move to the Legacy Pitch inside the National Stadium, Surulere for their official training sessions today, with the Algerians to take the pitch at 4.00 pm.
Looking forward to an entertaining encounter, Madugu said: “We have been having useful sessions since we resumed on Monday. I am impressed with the discipline and sense of dedication of the players, and I am looking forward to a masterclass performance by the Super Falcons in both games.
“We respect the Algerians just as we respect every other team that we play against, but the truth is that we need to bounce back strongly from the below-par outing at the Olympics and restore our team’s confidence and positive spirit.”
These two matches stir memories of the Aisha Buhari Women’s Tournament that was held in Lagos, in September 2021, which is also the last time that the Super Falcons played Grade A friendly matches on home soil. Madugu’s squad has a large contingent of home-based professionals, with only six overseas-based players invited.
