Avre urges more friendlies for Super Falcons ahead of title defence
Former Super Falcons striker Patience Avre has called on the Nigeria Football Federation to arrange more friendly matches for the team. She expressed concern over the lack of international friendlies since their unbeaten WAFCON campaign in July 2025. The Super Falcons, led by captain Rasheedat Ajibade, have played only three matches aside from WAFCON this year. Avre believes more games are crucial for the team’s preparation and chances of retaining their continental crown.
