The Super Falcons’ camp in the Cameroonian capital has reached a total of fifteen players as preparations intensify for their high-profile friendly double-header against the Indomitable Lionesses. The squad saw a significant boost on Thursday, February 26, 2026, with the arrival of four additional players: Rinsola Babajide, Shukurat Oladipo, Folashade Ijamilusi, and Kafayat Shittu. These reinforcements join the initial group of eleven who officially opened the camp on Wednesday, signaling the final phase of assembly for Justine Madugu’s side.
Among the cornerstone players already integrated into the Yaoundé base are team captain Rasheedat Ajibade, Monday Gift, veteran midfielder Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene, and the defensive duo of Oluwatosin Demehin and Christy Ucheibe. The coaching staff has wasted no time, scheduling a rigorous training session for later tonight at the Stade Omnisport Ahmadou Ahidjo. This facility will serve as the primary laboratory for the Falcons as they fine-tune the tactical blueprints intended to dismantle their long-standing continental rivals.
“Fifteen players are now in Super Falcons’ camp in Yaoundé for the international friendlies against the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon. The latest arrivals are Rinsola Babajide, Shukurat Oladipo, Folashade Ijamilusi, and Kafayat Shittu.”
The first of the two scheduled friendlies is set to take place this Saturday, February 28. For Coach Madugu, the matches are a vital component of the team’s roadmap toward the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. With more players expected to trickle in from their overseas clubs over the next 24 hours, the technical crew is focusing on team cohesion and physical conditioning to ensure the squad is match-ready for the physical challenge typically posed by the Cameroonian side.
The atmosphere in Yaoundé is reportedly one of focused determination, as the Falcons aim to maintain their dominance over the Lionesses following their previous 2-0 victory in Abeokuta. As the nine-time African champions gear up for tonight’s drills under the lights, the addition of the latest four arrivals provides the coaching staff with more options to rotate the lineup and test various tactical combinations. Supporters are already looking forward to Saturday’s clash, which promises to be a definitive rehearsal for the upcoming continental showpiece.
