International Friendly: Match Preview, Date,  Kickoff Time For France Vs Super Falcons Game

By Admin

The Super Falcons of Nigeria are set for a thrilling challenge against France’s Les Bleues in an international friendly. This upcoming match is crucial for both teams as they fine-tune their preparations for major tournaments in the coming year.

For the Super Falcons, the friendly marks an important phase in their buildup to the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. Under the guidance of interim coach Justin Madugu, who took over after the departure of former head coach Randy Waldrum, Nigeria has been working on rebuilding the squad. Madugu has used recent friendly matches to experiment with new strategies, providing emerging domestic players a chance to showcase their talents.

The Super Falcons come into this match with confidence after impressive victories over Algeria in their recent double-header. Despite being without star forward Asisat Oshoala, Nigeria secured a solid 2-0 win in Ikenne, followed by a dominant 4-1 victory in Lagos. These results have shown promise for the future of the squad as they continue to develop under Madugu’s leadership.

On the other hand, France’s Les Bleues are preparing for the UEFA Women’s Euro Championship, set to take place next summer in Switzerland. Coach Hervé Renard will be eager to fine-tune his squad ahead of the tournament. France has long been one of the strongest teams in women’s football, and they will be looking to continue their dominant run in international competition.

Historically, France has had the upper hand in their meetings with Nigeria, having won all three of their previous encounters. Their most significant victory came in 2018, when they defeated the Super Falcons 8-0, one of Nigeria’s heaviest defeats. However, with Nigeria undergoing a transition, this match presents the Super Falcons with an excellent opportunity to achieve their first-ever win over France.

The match will take place on Saturday November 30, at 9:30 p.m. local time.
