The highly anticipated friendly match between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses has been officially postponed to Monday.
Initially slated for Saturday at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, the fixture will now be held at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Abeokuta, following a late schedule adjustment.
Reason for Postponement
The rescheduling became necessary due to the delayed arrival of the Cameroonian team, who are expected to land in Nigeria on Saturday.
Cameroon’s head coach, Jean Baptiste Bisseck, unveiled his squad for the double-header on Friday, just ahead of their departure for Nigeria.
