Nigeria's Super Falcons are set to face rivals Cameroon in a high-profile international friendly as preparations finally begin in earnest for the delayed 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations WAFCON , now scheduled to kick off in Morocco on 5 July 2025, Soccernet.ng reports .
The 11-time African champions are aiming to reclaim the title from current holders South Africa , but have endured a less-than-ideal buildup, having not played a match in over six months.
Their last outing was a 2-1 defeat to France in December 2023, with Ifeoma Onumonu scoring Nigeria's only goal in Angers.
