Falconets Begin Intensive Abuja Camp Ahead of 2026 U-20 Women’s World Cup

Nigeria’s U-20 women’s national team has gathered in Abuja for an intensive training camp ahead of the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland. Twenty-eight players were invited, and sixteen are already on the field for high-intensity sessions led by coach Moses Aduku. The Falconets punched their ticket with a dominant qualifying run, including a 5-0 aggregate win over Rwanda, a narrow 3-2 victory against Senegal, and a 3-2 triumph over Malawi. They remain the only African side to appear in every edition since 2002. Historically strong performers, the team finished as runners-up in 2010 and 2014 and reached the 2024 Round of 16 in Colombia. The Falconets will face Spain, China PR, and Paraguay in Group F when the tournament kicks off on September 5, 2026.
