Nigeria’s Super Falcons continued their impressive preparations for the upcoming 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with a commanding 3-0 victory over Senegal Women’s National Football Team at the Remo Stars Stadium.
Sports247 reports that the tenth-time African champions produced a dominant display to complete a successful double-header against Senegal on home soil, having also secured a 2-1 victory in the first international friendly a few days earlier.
After a tightly contested first half, Nigeria came out with renewed intensity after the break and quickly took control of proceedings.
Forward Joy Omewa opened the scoring in the 49th minute, finishing confidently to give the hosts a deserved lead.
The Nigerian attack continued to pile pressure on the Senegalese defence, and Omewa struck again seven minutes later to complete her brace and double the Super Falcons’ advantage.
Her clinical finishing capped an outstanding individual performance and highlighted the attacking depth available to the Nigerian coaching crew.
With momentum firmly on their side, the Super Falcons added a third goal in the 66th minute through veteran striker Asisat Oshoala.
The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year demonstrated her experience and composure in front of goal, putting the result beyond doubt and sealing an emphatic victory for the hosts.
Nigeria remained in control throughout the closing stages, limiting Senegal’s attacking opportunities while maintaining their dominance in possession and overall play.
The victory will provide further encouragement for the Super Falcons as they continue preparations for WAFCON 2026 in Morocco, where they will be aiming to reclaim continental supremacy.
The back-to-back wins against Senegal offered valuable competitive minutes, tactical refinement, and positive signs across several areas of the squad.
With experienced leaders combining effectively with emerging talents, the Super Falcons appear to be building momentum at the right time as attention gradually shifts toward the continental championship next year.
