Madugu Invites Ajibade, Nnadozie, 23 Others For Algeria Friendly

Super Falcons interim coach, Justine Madugu has invited captain Rasheedat Ajibade, goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie and 23 other players for the two international friendly matches against Algeria in Lagos.

The matches are billed for the picturesque Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos Island on Saturday, 26th October and Tuesday, 29th October respectively.
 
It is the first time that the Falcons are playing international friendly matches on home soil since the Aisha Buhari Invitational Tournament which was held at the same venue three years ago.

Before then, they hosted the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project, Abuja in 2014.  
 
Madugu has also called Turkey-based defender Oluwatosin Demehin, Comfort Folorunsho of Edo Queens, Spain-based Gift Monday, and a long list of home-based professionals as well as some Falconets who featured at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia last month.
 
It will be the first re-grouping of the Super Falcons since the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in France in the summer, and following the departure of American trainer Randy Waldrum.
 
The Algerian delegation is expected in Nigeria on Wednesday.
 
The Confederation of African Football has already approved the two games, which will be supervised by FIFA match officials from Benin Republic.
