Super Falcons Head Coach, Justine Madugu, has included seven home-based players in his squad for the upcoming international friendly against France, scheduled for Saturday. The match, set to take place in Angers, will serve as a critical test for the nine-time African champions as they prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final tournament.
The squad also features several key players, including CAF Awards nominee and first-choice goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie, defenders Osinachi Ohale and Ashleigh Plumptre, midfielders Christy Ucheibe and Jennifer Echegini, and forwards Gift Monday and Rinsola Babajide. These players, alongside the home-based stars, will aim to match the Les Bleues’ formidable prowess.

All invited players are set to travel directly to France, where they will join the coaching crew and backroom staff for final preparations. The match is expected to offer Madugu insights into his team’s strengths and areas for improvement as they look to defend their status as Africa’s dominant footballing nation.
