The gaffer said the friendlies will give him the opportunity to watch the new players closely, and work on the team’s cohesion.
“The key objective is to try and ensure that we improve on the team cohesion, and try as much as possible to look at new players that can possibly give us new options before the WAFCON,” Madugu told the Super Falcons media.
The first friendly with Cameroon will hold at the Military Stadium, Yaoundé on Saturday (today).
