Nigeria’s Super Falcons will aim to secure their first-ever victory over Les Bleues of France when the two sides meet in a friendly match on Saturday, today.
The encounter is set to take place at Stade Raymond Kopa in Angers, with kick-off scheduled for 9:30 pm Nigeria time.
France holds a perfect record against the nine-time African champions, having emerged victorious in all three previous meetings.
The Super Falcons have yet to score against the European side, suffering 1-0 defeats on two occasions and enduring an 8-0 loss in a friendly match back in 2018.
Interim head coach Justine Madugu will be hoping to build on the team’s impressive performance in October double-header against Algeria’s Green Ladies, where her squad claimed 2-0 and 4-1 wins, respectively.
The friendly serves as a key part of Nigeria’s preparations for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where they are set to compete in Group B alongside Botswana, Algeria, and Tunisia in Morocco.
