The Super Falcons of Nigeria will once again be playing in Lagos after three years with International friendly matches against Algeria. The nine-time African Champions are scheduled to play their Algerian counterparts on Saturday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 29, respectively, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Lagos Island.
The list includes mostly home-based professionals, some Foreign Based, a few Falconets who competed at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia last month and absolutely NO Foreign Born players.
🇳🇬GOALKEEPERS: Chiamaka Nnadozie (Paris FC, France); Monle Oyono (Edo Queens); Rachael Unachukwu (Nasarawa Amazons)

The Falcons are participating in international friendlies on home turf for the first time since the Aisha Buhari Invitational Tournament three years ago.
Also, this will be their first fixture since the summer Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in France and after former Head Coach, Randy Waldrum resigned from his position.
My Submission will be put up as my next post but I must reiterate there is a silent “Coup” aimed at edging out the Foreign Born players which must be RESISTED.
The handwriting have always been on the wall and we shouldn’t allow this bigotry from some selfish, incompetent, unproven, self,-serving folks set the Super Falcons Of Nigeria back several years.
The harm they have done with the male team is more than enough!
