A 35-member Algerian delegation is scheduled to arrive in Nigeria on Thursday morning via Qatar Airways.

Head Coach Justin Madugu expressed his excitement as all 25 invited players reported to camp for the Super Falcons’ first training session at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos.

The team is preparing for two international friendly matches against Algeria’s senior women’s national team.

“I’m thrilled that all the invited players are here,” Madugu said in a press statement issued by NFF’s Director of Communication Ademola Olajire. “We’ll have four days of intensive training, which will put us in great shape for the first game. We appreciate the Nigeria Football Federation for arranging these matches.”

However, Tuesday’s training session was thwarted by heavy rain in Lagos, forcing the team to relocate to Eko Hotel & Towers for gym sessions.

Double friendly matches

The nine-time African champions will face Algeria twice, with both matches taking place at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

The match dates and times are as follows: Saturday, 26 October, at 4 pm, and Tuesday, 29 October, at 4 p.m.

A 35-member Algerian delegation is scheduled to arrive in Nigeria on Thursday morning via Qatar Airways.

Meanwhile, match officials from the Benin Republic, comprising Aurore Christine Ligan, Nafissatou Yekini Shitou, Sonia Emilie Louis, and Laurande Offin, will also arrive in Lagos on Thursday.
