Kourevi Proud Despite New Caledonia's 10-1 Loss to Falconets

In the 2026 U-20 Women's World Cup, Joceline Kourevi scored the sole goal for New Caledonia in a significant 10-1 loss to Nigeria's Falconets, coached by Moses Aduku. This match took place in Lodz on Sunday afternoon and was the final group game for both teams.

Kourevi expressed her pride in scoring, stating, “This is a source of great pride for the country. I’m very proud too, because it’s a first for me.

It’s the first time we’ve been in the World Cup, and we’re a small country as well.” Despite the defeat, New Caledonia's participation in the tournament is historic, as they finished bottom of Group F with zero points from three games.
