Nigeria’s U20 Women’s National Team, Falconets, have concluded an intensive three-week camping programme in Abuja, in preparation for their crucial FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture against Malawi’s U20 girls.
Head Coach Moses Aduku expressed confidence in the team’s readiness and ability to deliver. “The girls have shown great character and determination throughout the camping period. We have worked extensively on our tactics, fitness, and team cohesion. I am optimistic about our readiness and confident that the players will rise to the occasion.”
Team captain, Joy Igbokwe, also reaffirmed the squad’s determination and called for national support. “We are fully prepared and focused on the task ahead. We ask Nigerians for their prayers and support as we go into this important match. We are determined to make the country proud.”
The Falconets will be aiming to secure a strong first-leg advantage as they continue their pursuit of qualification for this year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals, to be hosted by Poland from 5th to 26th September.
Nigeria have qualified for and participated in all previous editions of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup since the competition was launched as a U19 tournament in Canada 24 years ago.
