Falconets Train in Poland for FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup
Nigeria’s U20 Women’s National Team, known as the Falconets, has begun preparations for the 2026 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Trzebnica, Poland. Training commenced on Wednesday at the Stadion Miejski, Fair Play Arena, following their arrival on Tuesday.
The team is focusing on tactical organization, technical execution, physical conditioning, and team cohesion. They will play two international friendly matches: against Poland on 28th August at the Municipal Stadium in Brzeg and against South Korea on 1st September at the Remes Resort & Spa Football Stadium.
The matches aim to help players acclimatize and prepare for the World Cup. Captain Joy Igbokwe and defender Faridat Abdulwahab were replaced by Vivian Kachi and Alaba Olabiyi due to visa issues.
Head Coach Moses Aduku is demanding maximum commitment as the team prepares to compete in Group F against Spain on 7th September, China PR on 10th September, and New Caledonia on 13th September. The Falconets aim to secure Nigeria’s first FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup title.
