The event is scheduled for Saturday, July 1, at the prestigious Transcorp Hilton Abuja. Notable members of the NFF Executive Committee are expected to be present at the occasion.
Following the farewell dinner, Randy Waldrum’s squad, comprising 23 players and officials, will embark on a 15-day final training camp in Australia.

This edition marks Nigeria’s ninth appearance in the premier women’s football tournament, and they have been placed in Group B alongside Canada, Australia, and the Republic of Ireland.
The Super Falcons will kick off their campaign against Canada at the Melbourne Rectangular Stadium on July 21.
