Ikenne, Nigeria – Dem don call off di friendly match wey suppose happen between Nigeria women’s national team and Cameroon for Remo Stars Stadium. Wetin happen? According to PUNCH Online, di match wey dem plan for Saturday go no go happen as sabi Cameroonian team jam some serious travel wahala.
Dis go be di Super Falcons’ first time wey dem go dey play since dem carry last beater from France for November 2024. And all dis wahala wey dem dey face now na because di Cameroonian delegation arrive Ikenne late on Friday, making am impossible to follow di original plans to play di match.
Dem don confirm say di late arrival, thanks to some travel kaikai wey hold dem up, spoil dem recovery plan and all di necessary matchday arrangements wey dey needed for international fixtures. As e be so, dem don reduce di match to one leg only, and dem don shift di second leg wey originally dey plan for Tuesday, June 3, to Monday, June 2.
Dis new plan still fit allow both teams yan face to face before dem start di big tournament for Africa. For di Super Falcons, dis friendly na key part of dia preparation for di 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations wey go happen for Morocco. Na Nigeria sabi dis game well-well, as dem don win di WAFCON title nine times, and dem never miss semi-finals since di tournament start for 1991.
On di other hand, Cameroon, dem no fit make am for di upcoming WAFCON, but di rivalry between Nigeria and Cameroon no dey small. Di two teams don jom together over di years, and no be today dem dey clash. Na wah o! E be like say na Nigeria dey always shine for dia meetings as di Lionesses never score against di Falcons for six matches straight since 2012. E don reach to make dem shine small for dis one too!
Abeg, make we dey watch as dis friendly go turn out, even though di plan don change. Both teams still go get di chance to flex dem muscles before di main events come. Na so di game dey go! E go be interesting one!
