NIGERIA women’s national football team will travel to the United Kingdom later this month for a short training tour as preparations continue for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
News Point Nigeria Sport reports that the training camp is expected to run from May 23 to 28, with one friendly match likely to be played during the trip.
Although the tour falls outside the official FIFA international window, the Nigeria Football Federation has decided to organise the programme in a bid to keep the team active ahead of next year’s continental tournament and the qualification race for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
The UK training programme also follows a frustrating March international break during which the Super Falcons were unable to play the friendly matches initially scheduled by the federation.
The camp is expected to provide the coaching crew with another opportunity to assess players and maintain momentum as the team intensifies preparations for upcoming international competitions.
