Super Falcons set for international friendly against Algeria

According to a report by Daily Post on Tuesday November 10, 2026, Nigeria's Super Falcons are expected to take on Algeria in an international friendly during the November–December 2026 FIFA women's international window as they intensify preparations for their upcoming 2028 Olympic Games qualifying campaign.

The proposed encounter is expected to take place in Algiers, with the Nigerian team looking to use the fixture to prepare for their crucial third-round qualifying tie against Morocco.

The friendly will provide the 10-time African champions with an opportunity to assess their readiness ahead of what promises to be a difficult contest against the Atlas Lionesses.

Nigeria booked their place in the third qualifying round after recording an impressive 7-0 aggregate victory over Comoros in the second round of the Olympic Games qualifiers in October.

The Super Falcons demonstrated their superiority over Comoros across the two legs, securing qualification without much difficulty.

However, the next challenge against Morocco is expected to be considerably tougher, considering the North African side's growing reputation in women's football.

Morocco have made significant progress in recent years and have established themselves as one of the strongest teams on the continent. Their development means Nigeria will need to be at their best to overcome them and keep their Olympic qualification hopes alive.

The proposed friendly against Algeria is therefore expected to play an important role in the Super Falcons' preparations.

It will give the coaching crew an opportunity to assess different tactical approaches, evaluate the performances of available players and work on the areas that need improvement before the Morocco encounter.

The game could also provide an opportunity for some players to strengthen their positions in the squad as Nigeria continue their preparations for the next stage of the competition.

According to the report, FIFA's next international women's football window will run from November 24 to December 5, 2026.

The window is available to all confederations and allows national teams to play up to three international matches.

This provides the Super Falcons with an opportunity to arrange additional competitive fixtures during the period, although Algeria are currently the only opponent mentioned in the report.

Nigeria and Morocco are scheduled to battle for a place in the fourth qualifying round between February and March 2027.

The Super Falcons will be eager to progress beyond that stage as they continue their pursuit of a place at the 2028 Olympic Games.

For Nigeria, returning to the Olympic football competition would represent a significant achievement, particularly after missing out on the previous edition in Paris in 2024.

The team will therefore be expected to approach their preparations with seriousness, knowing that there will be little room for mistakes against a developing Moroccan side.
