The Super Falcons will begin their training camp on Monday in Lome, Togo, ahead of their 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final qualifying first-leg clash against Benin Republic on Friday, Afrosport reports.
Six-time African Player of the Year Asisat Oshoala is among the early arrivals in camp, alongside new invitee Joy Omewa, Galatasaray defender Tosin Demehin and China-based forward Folashade Ijamilusi. Home-based players Anderline Mgbechi, Blessing Ilivieda, Miracle Usani, Taiwo Afolabi, and Kafayat Mafisere are also in the Nigerian camp in Lome.
Head coach Justine Madugu confirmed that the team will hold their first training session on Monday afternoon as preparations intensify for the clash with the Benin at the 25,000-capacity Stade de Kegue.
The first leg will kick off at 3 p.m. local time (4 p.m. in Nigeria), with the return fixture scheduled for Tuesday, 28 October, at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta.
The two-legged tie will determine who advances to the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco — a tournament that also serves as Africa’s qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
