Nigeria's Falconets to learn U-20 Women's World Cup group opponents this Friday

Nigeria’s Falconets will discover their group opponents for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup on Friday, May 15, 2026, during a draw ceremony in Łódź, Poland. The draw will be broadcast across FIFA’s channels and assisted by former Poland coach Nina Patalon and French football icon Laura Georges. Twenty-four teams have already qualified, including the Falconets, who secured their spot with a 3‑2 aggregate win over Malawi’s Young Scorchers.

The tournament will be hosted in Poland from September 5 to 27, with matches spread across four centres: Bielsko‑Biała, Katowice, Łódź, and Sosnowiec. Knowing the group early allows the team and fans to plan travel, prepare tactically, and gauge the difficulty of the path toward Nigeria’s first U‑20 Women’s World Cup title.

Mark your calendar for the Friday draw to see who the Falconets face, check FIFA’s broadcast schedule for live updates, and consider which host cities might be viable for supporting the team in September.
