Nigeria women's national football team are reportedly planning a preparatory tour of the United Kingdom as part of their build-up to the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The move is aimed at giving the team high-quality friendly matches against competitive opposition before heading into the continental tournament.
The proposed UK tour is expected to provide the Super Falcons with exposure to different playing styles, helping the coaching crew assess squad depth, tactical flexibility, and overall readiness. With several key players based in Europe, the camp is also seen as an opportunity to assemble the full squad early and build stronger team chemistry.
Officials around the team believe the tour will play a crucial role in sharpening match fitness and correcting tactical gaps identified in previous competitions. It also offers a platform for fringe players to impress and fight for a place in the final WAFCON squad.
Nigeria remain one of the favourites for the tournament, and preparations like this are part of efforts to reclaim continental dominance and improve on recent performances.
