The Super Falcons will meet Portugal in a friendly game today, in Lisbon as part of their preparation for the 13th Women Africa Cup of Nations billed for Morocco, next month.

  Today’s game is one of two test matches lined up for the nine time African champions ahead of the continental fiesta in Morocco. The other game will be against Ghana’s Black Queens in Morocco on June 29, which is just before the kickoff of the championship.

    According to thenff.com, the Falcons’ contingent flew out of Abuja to Casablanca on Sunday morning, aboard a Royal Air Maroc flight, and then travelled to Lisbon from there.

  After appearing at the Portuguese and Moroccan embassies during the week as part of the procedure for visa processing, the nine-time African champions trained at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, on Thursday evening, and at the Turf Arena, on Friday and Saturday, in preparation for Monday’s encounter.

  Goalkeepers Chiamaka Nnadozie and Tochukwu Oluehi, experienced defender Osinachi Ohale, midfielder Christy Ucheibe and forward Francisca Ordega were among those that worked out under the guidance of Head Coach, Justine Madugu and his assistants.

  United States-based defender, Michelle Alozie, Saudi Arabia-based Ashleigh Plumptre, captain Rasheedat Ajibade, and fellow midfielders Halimatu Ayinde, Jennifer Echegini and Toni Payne, as well as forwards Esther Okoronkwo, Rinsola Babajide and Chinwendu Ihezuo will team up with the team at the training camp in the Portuguese capital.

  Today’s encounter will hold at the Estádio José Gomes in the Amadora precinct of Lisbon, and will commence at 7.00 p.m. Portugal time (same time as in Nigeria).

  The Falcons will tackle Tunisia, Botswana and Algeria in Group B of the competition, with the Larbi Zaouli Stadium, in Casablanca as venue.
