Nigeria’s Super Falcons, Flying Eagles One Step Away From Glory In All Africa Games

With just one step away from the final, Nigeria’s Super Falcons and the Flying Eagles will be up against Algeria and Mali in the semi-final of the All Africa Games.

Still unbeaten at the tournament, the Nigerian ladies began their campaign on a shaky note after drawing Cameroon in the opener before edging South Africa and Zambia respectively. They will face Algeria on Tuesday.

However, Super Falcons could have their work cut out if they underestimate the Algerian ladies that lost 3-2 to hosts Morocco in their opener before pipping Mali and Equatoguineans to garner six points and claim the runners-up spot.

On the other hand, Nigeria’s Flying Eagles will test their strength against Mali in the semi-final of the All Africa Games on Tuesday.

The team booked a semi-finals place in the men’s football event of the 12th All African Games following a 2-2 draw against the host, Morocco, in their last Group A match.

Before now, Nigeria managed a 1-1 draw against Burkina Faso in their opening game before defeating South Africa 2-1 in their second group A fixture.

The team will face the winner of Senegal and Burkina Faso in the final of the All Africa.
