Super Falcons lose to Canada in friendly ahead of Paris 2024 Olympic Games
Nigeria’s Super Falcons suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Canada in a friendly match on Wednesday evening.
The match at the La Quinta Football Centre, Malaga, aimed to prepare them for the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics in France.
The Olympic champions controlled the early stages of the friendly and netted the only goal of the game in the 18th minute.
Despite creating several opportunities, the Super Falcons were unable to find the back of the net, with their poor finishing proving costly.
This match marked the Super Falcons’ first loss in 2024.
Coach Randy Waldrum’s team will now focus on their opening fixture at the 2024 Olympics, where they will face Brazil in a Group C clash at Stade Bordeaux next Thursday.
