The Super Falcons will head into Tuesday’s international friendly encounter with New Zealand at the Mardan Sports Complex on Tuesday (today) looking to record their third successive win in 2023, PUNCH Sports Extra reports. The game will be the Falcons’ last pre-World Cup friendly barring any last-minute arrangement before the Women’s World Cup billed to hold in New Zealand and Australia kicks off from July 20 to August 20. New Zealand, co-host of the 2023 Women’s World Cup, also played out a 1-1 draw with Iceland at the Mardan Sports Complex. The Football Ferns’ last victory was a 2-1 win over The Philippines against the Philippines in Fullerton, California, USA. But speaking ahead of the game, Waldrum urged his team to build on the win over Haiti.
