WAFCON 2026: Super Falcons Confirm Tanzania Friendly in Casablanca
Nigeria’s Super Falcons will take on Tanzania in an international friendly on Thursday in Casablanca as part of their final preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
The friendly brings an end to days of uncertainty surrounding the team’s pre-tournament plans after attempts to arrange warm-up matches against Ghana and Tanzania were initially unsuccessful.
sportsbeat.ng gathered from camp sources that the encounter will kick off at 6:00 p.m. local time in Casablanca, giving head coach Justine Madugu an opportunity to assess his squad ahead of the tournament.
The Super Falcons have intensified training since arriving in Morocco, with the technical crew expected to use the match to fine-tune tactics, improve match fitness, and build cohesion before the team’s opening game.
Nigeria heads into WAFCON 2026 as defending champions and will be aiming to win a record-extending 11th continental title.
The friendly against Tanzania is currently the only confirmed warm-up fixture for the nine-time African champions before they begin their title defence in Morocco.
The Super Falcons will be hoping to make the most of the test as they seek to enter the tournament with momentum and confidence.
