2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup: Super Falcons to go on two-day break

Following their 0-0 draw with Republic of Ireland and qualification for the Round of 16, the Super Falcons were given two days off by the technical crew, with training sessions to resume on Thursday at the Lions FC Stadium in Brisbane, ahead of the clash with England on Monday, 7 August. Players used the opportunity to stretch their legs and see a few places of interest close to their hotel.

Nigeria and England have clashed thrice previously at senior women international level, with the Falcons winning two of the three matches.

Already South Africa and Nigeria have made it through to the second round of the competition for the first time in the tournament’s history.
