Nigeria's Falconets arrive in Poland for U-20 Women's World Cup preparations

Nigeria’s Falconets have arrived in Poland ahead of the 2026 FIFA U‑20 Women’s World Cup, settling in Sosnowiec for final preparations. The team, led by head coach Moses Aduku, played a series of friendly matches in Abuja before departure and will face hosts Poland and Korea Republic in additional friendlies before the tournament opens. Aduku released a 21‑player squad on the eve of the trip, and the Falconets are drawn in Group F alongside Spain, China and New Caledonia. Their opening match is scheduled against Spain at the Arena Sosnowiec, though the exact kickoff time has not yet been announced.

The tournament offers Nigeria a chance to showcase its rising women’s football talent on the global stage and to gain valuable experience against top‑ranked opponents. Success in the group could boost the profile of the women’s game domestically and inspire more girls to take up sport. The friendlies against Poland and Korea will test the squad’s readiness and help fine‑tune tactics ahead of the tough Group F encounter with Spain, a side that reached the quarterfinals in the previous edition.

With the squad now in camp, will you follow their progress closely, support them through local viewing parties, or hope the experience translates into stronger performances for the senior Super Falcons in future qualifiers?
