Olympic Qualifier: Super Falcons to play Confluence Queens in friendly

The Nigeria senior women's team will face Confluence Queens in a tune-up friendly at the Goal Project, MKO Stadium on Wednesday, according to Tosin Ojo, the club's team manager.

The Super Falcons are bidding to return to the Women's Olympics next year in Tokyo after failing their last two attempts, for London 2012 and Rio 2016.

To achieve such a feat, they must negotiate past Cote d'Ivoire in the third round of the qualifier, with the first leg in Abidjan on October 2, while the reverse fixture will be staged at Agege four days later.
