The reigning African champions, Nigeria, are eager to bounce back after suffering a defeat to Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses due to a late goal on Saturday in the first of two friendly matches held in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon.
The two teams will meet again on Tuesday at the Military Stadium in Yaounde to conclude their two-match series, organized by the football federations of both countries as preparation for this year’s Women Africa Cup of Nations finals.
The Lionesses, who will face Ghana, Mali, and Cape Verde in Group D at the upcoming Women Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, scored a goal in stoppage time during the second half at the same Military Stadium on Saturday. This moment is viewed by many as a crucial wake-up call for Nigeria, who have won the continental championship ten times.
