Nigeria’s Super Falcons will play Finland on May 17 in Helsinki as part of their build up for this year’s Fifa Women’s World Cup in Germany.

Discussions are also going on to play the Hungary women’s national team in Nigeria, but the NFF’s current financial situation is proving to be a stumbling block.

“We have come to an agreement to play Finland on May 17, and we hope to give these girls the best possible preparation for the World Cup,” NFF Technical Committee chairman Christopher Green said.

The Super Falcons have been lumped with hosts Germany, along with Canada and France.

Eagles pip Tornadoes 2-1
