Falconets Arrive in Katowice for U20 World Cup
Nigeria’s U20 Women’s National Team, known as the Falconets, arrived at the Novotel Katowice Centrum in Poland as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, which begins on Saturday. The team had spent 10 days in Trzebnica under the guidance of Head Coach Moses Aduku, focusing on tactical organization, technical execution, physical conditioning, and team cohesion.
During their training camp, the Falconets played two international friendly matches, achieving a 1-0 victory over Poland, with Mary Mamudu scoring the only goal, and a 1-1 draw against Korea Republic, where Mamudu also scored. These matches allowed the technical crew to evaluate the team against varied opposition and helped the players adapt to the expected pace and conditions of the World Cup.
The Falconets are in Group F alongside Spain, China PR, and New Caledonia, with their opening match against Spain scheduled for Monday.
