Super Falcons set for Algeria friendly ahead of 2028 Olympic qualifiers

Nigeria’s Super Falcons are in line to face Algeria in an international friendly as part of their preparations for the 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign.

The proposed match is expected to take place in Algiers during the November-December 2026 FIFA international women’s window.

The window will run from 24 November to 5 December 2026, giving national teams across all confederations the opportunity to play up to three matches.

Nigeria, 10-time African champions, last played in October, when they met Comoros in the second qualifying round of the 2028 Olympic Games.

They progressed with a commanding 7-0 aggregate victory, securing their place in the next stage of the competition.

The Super Falcons are due to face Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in the third qualifying round between February and March 2027.

The tie will determine which team advances to the fourth qualifying round, with both nations seeking to remain in contention for a place at the 2028 Olympic Games.

A fixture against Algeria would give Nigeria an opportunity to use the November-December window to continue preparations before their next competitive assignment against Morocco.
