Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria\u2019s Super Falcons will be up against world champions, the United States of America in a friendly at the Children\u2019s Mercy Park, Kansas City on Saturday (today).<\/p>\n

The second friendly is billed for the Audi Field, Washington next week Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons will be looking to record their first win in seven games against the North Americans.<\/p>\n

Both countries are using the friendlies as part of their preparations for the 2023 FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup to be hosted by Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s encounter will be the second meeting between Nigeria and USA in two years.<\/p>\n

The USA has also kept a clean sheet in each of their previous six encounters against the Super Falcons.<\/p>\n

Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum will be without several of his key stars for the game due to club engagements.<\/p>\n

Waldrum picked four players from the Falconets side that were eliminated at the quarter-final stage of the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup in Costa Rica last month.<\/p>\n

The players are Oluwatosin Demehin, Rofiat Imuran, Esther Onyenezide and Deborah Abiodun.<\/p>\n

First-choice goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, defender Osinachi Ohale, midfielder Toni Payne and forwards Rasheedat Ajibade and Uchenna Kanu will provide the spine for an interesting Nigeria selection.<\/p>\n
