[bet9ja.com](https://landing.bet9ja.com/aviator-bet9ja?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Nigeria’s Super Falcons have touched down in Casablanca to begin their final preparations for WAFCON 2024 in Morocco, following a training camp in Lisbon that included a goalless friendly with Portugal. A group of seven players arrived earlier this week Asisat Oshoala, Michelle Alozie, Deborah Abiodun, Ihezuo, [Folashade](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/chelsea-player-close-to-finalizing-permanent-move-to-strasbourg/) Ijamilusi, [Esther Okoronkwo](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/akor-adams-vows-to-do-his-bit-as-super-eagles-chase-world-cup-spot/) and Chioma Okafor later joined by the rest of the squad after the Portugal match in Lisbon.
<br>
<br>Under coach Justin Madugu, the team will play another friendly against Ghana’s Black Queens on Sunday, 29 June, before launching their WAFCON campaign in Group B at Larbi Zaouli Stadium. Their first fixture is set for 6 July against Tunisia. As nine-time champions, the Falcons are pursuing a historic 10th title.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>We believe this structured preparation reflects [strategic intent](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/nigerias-all-time-top-10-super-eagles-goal-scorers/). The sequence friendly in Portugal, camp in Casablanca, pre-tournament against Ghana builds on experience, cohesion and [adaptability](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/match-previews-and-reviews/). It shows the intent to leave nothing to chance.
<br>
<br>We feel the gradual approach enhances chemistry. Fresh air in Lisbon, match practice under heat in Morocco, and a regional test against Ghana’s Black Queens strengthens both skill and stamina. This layered groundwork is vital in high stakes tournaments.
<br>
<br>We also see deeper significance in the "Mission X" campaign. As NFF promotes the Falcons, it signals a shift towards accountability and unity. The team’s arrival in Morocco amid fan anticipation places pressure—and opportunity squarely on them.
<br>
<br>We hold that this is Super Falcons football at its best: preparation matched by purpose. With seven players already present and more to come, the squad now stands together, blending experience with emerging talent. We stand convinced: as they take to the pitch in Casablanca, it won’t just be their 10th title on the line this is a test of ambition and belief. And from Lisbon to Casablanca, they’re proving they mean business.

Seven players including Oshoala, Alozie and Abiodun arrived in Casablanca in advance, joining those from the Portugal camp.
The Black Queens match on 29 June serves as a final test before WAFCON and is part of Madugu’s build-up strategy.
The Falcons will contest three group games at Larbi Zaouli Stadium in Casablanca against Tunisia, Botswana and Algeria.
This marks the Falcons’ return to Morocco after a disappointing fourth-place finish at the 2022 tournament in the same country.
