The Super Falcons have opened camp in Yaoundé, Cameroon, as preparations intensify for their international friendly double-header against the Indomitable Lionesses.
Camp officially opened on Tuesday, with training scheduled to commence later today as the technical crew begins fine-tuning plans for the two high-profile encounters.
