The international friendly match between Nigeria's Super Falcons and the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon has been postponed until Monday, May 3, 2025, according to reports.
Originally scheduled to take place on Saturday at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, the first leg of the double-header friendly will now be held at the Moshood Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta.
The postponement was necessitated by the late arrival of the Cameroonian national team. Head coach Jean Baptiste Bisseck only unveiled his squad on Friday, with players and officials expected to arrive in Nigeria later today.
This match represents an important preparation opportunity for both teams as they continue to develop their squads for upcoming international competitions. The Super Falcons, under coach Randy Waldrum who has expressed interest in continuing his role with the team, will be looking to bounce back after their early exit from the Paris 2024 Olympics.
The Nigerian team has been active in recent months, with players like Ajibade showing leadership as team captain and new talents like Robo Queens' Oladipo receiving national team call-ups.
Football enthusiasts anticipating this West African derby will now have to wait until Monday to see the continental rivals face off in what promises to be an exciting encounter between two of Africa's strongest women's football nations.
Details regarding the second leg of this friendly double-header are expected to be announced in due course.
