Falconets Urged to Win Against New Caledonia in World Cup
Ahead of their crucial match against New Caledonia at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, Nigeria’s U20 women’s team, the Falconets, have been urged to attack with purpose and score freely. Head Coach Moses Aduku emphasized the need to not underestimate their opponents, despite New Caledonia's heavy defeats in their previous matches.
Nigeria currently has one point from a goalless draw with China and must win convincingly to improve their goal difference and secure advancement to the Round of 16. Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, Acting General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, reinforced the coach's message, stating that a win would significantly enhance their chances of qualification.
He encouraged the players to approach the match with clarity of purpose and ambition. The Falconets need to overcome the two-goal deficit from their opening loss to Spain while also hoping for favorable outcomes in other group matches.
