Nigeria’s Super Falcons are gearing up to take on the Japanese female National team in an international friendly match in Kobe on Thursday.

The high-profile friendly will be the first time the Super Falcons will be in action since Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau was appointed as the new Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) President.

The delegation of Super Falcons, which left Nigeria on Friday, has arrived in the Japanese town of Kobe, where they take on 2011 world champions Japan at the Noevir Stadium, Kobe on Thursday, 6th October, which falls within one of the FIFA Women International Windows for this year.

Both teams have clashed only once at competitive level – at the 2004 Olympic Women’s Football Tournament.
