Nigeria’s female football national team, the Super Falcons, will open camp on Monday to commence preparations for the 2018 African Women’s Cup of Nations in Ghana.
The Nigeria Football Federation has ordered Super Falcons’ coach, Thomas Dennerby, to submit a comprehensive training programme ahead of the women African Cup of Nations slated to hold later this year.
He said: “When you start away, it is always good to come back home with clean sheet and win the game. So, if we can do that in an away game, we will have advantage to handle the game at home.”
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the team has already opened camp about two weeks ago in Abuja with home-based players for the fixture against The Gambia.
NAN reports that the Gambians will host the first leg of the qualifiers in Banjul on June 5 and the home fixture will be held in Nigeria on June 11.
It was new Swedish coach, Thomas Dennerby’s first game with the main team of the Super Falcons.
The first goal came 19 minutes into the game when the striker connected Glory Ogbonna’s cross from a corner beyond Senegal’s goalkeeper Ouleye Dieye
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Falcons are in the West African country for the 2018 WAFU Cup of Nations tournament which begins on Wednesday.
Tuesday’s public presentation of the renowned tactician sits comfortably with the pledge by the Pinnick administration to put in place machinery for very robust and meaningful development of women football in Nigeria, and for the Falcons to challenge for laurels at global championships
