The Nigeria senior women’s team will depart for Abidjan on Tuesday ahead of their first match in the WAFU Women’s Cup.
The Falcons who started training in Abuja on Monday ended their camp with a 1-0 victory against Squad One Academy on Saturday to conclude their buildup for the tournament.
Esther Sunday’s first half goal was all the ladies needed to claim a win at the Fifa Goal Project pitch against the Abuja-based youth side.
The clash was the team’s first and final match in their preparation for the Women’s championship scheduled to be held from May 8 to 18 in Abidjan.
Coach Thomas Dennerby is expected to select his final 20-team squad from the 26 players invited for the tournament before they travel on Tuesday.
The Falcons who are hoping to outdo their third-place finish last year have been drawn against Burkina Faso, Niger Republic and Mali in Group B.
Their opening match is against Burkina Faso on Thursday, May 9.
