Nigeria’s Super Falcons are set to begin preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with a training tour in the United Kingdom later this month.
The African champions will use the camp to fine-tune tactics, assess new players and build momentum ahead of the continental tournament.
The Super Falcons of Nigeria will embark on a training tour in the United Kingdom as part of preparations for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The tour is scheduled to hold from May 23 to May 28, according to reports from Savid News.
Nigeria’s women’s national team are expected to play at least one friendly match during the training exercise as head coach Justine Madugu continues preparations for the next WAFCON tournament.
The Super Falcons remain Africa’s most successful women’s football team with 10 continental titles, and expectations are already high ahead of the competition.
Coach Madugu is expected to use the UK tour to evaluate new players and fringe stars who could break into the squad before the tournament begins.
Several regular players may not be available for the training camp because of club commitments in Europe and other leagues around the world.
The camping exercise also comes after Nigeria’s planned friendly matches against Cape Verde were cancelled last month.
The Super Falcons were originally scheduled to face Cape Verde in two international friendlies at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Ogun State. However, the fixtures were called off after Cape Verde reportedly withdrew from the games.
Despite the setback, the Nigeria Football Federation and coaching crew have continued to search for quality preparations ahead of WAFCON 2026.
The team is also expected to play additional international friendlies during the next FIFA women’s international window scheduled for June 7 to June 14.
Supporters will hope the upcoming UK training tour helps the Super Falcons improve team chemistry and maintain their dominance in African women’s football.
The Super Falcons UK tour 2026 is expected to play a key role in Nigeria’s preparations for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. With new players set to be assessed and more friendlies planned, the African champions are aiming to build a strong squad capable of winning another continental title.
