Super Falcons Seek Vengeance Against Cote d’Ivoire In Final Qualifiers For Women’s Africa Cup Of Nations

Multiple-time  African champions, Nigeria’s Super Falcons will face off with their Ivorian counterparts for a place in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations scheduled to hold later this year in Morocco.

It is a sort of vengeance time for the Nigerian side who were eliminated from the qualification for the women’s football event of Tokyo 2020 Olympics by Cote’d’Ivoire.

This is the final qualifiers in which a heavyweight team such as Ghana has been eliminated.

The first leg is scheduled for February 16 to 18, 2022 and the return for February 21 to 23.

Due to Kenya’s withdrawal, Uganda became the first team to officially join hosts Morocco for the final twelve-team tournament. Ten places remain to be filled.
