Coach Aduku Confident Falconets Will Overcome Senegal in FIFA U20 Women's World Cup Qualifiers
Head coach Mose Aduku is confident that Nigeria's U20 women's team, Falconets, will triumph over host Senegal in the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup qualifiers. Despite the absence of injured striker Janet Akekoromowei, Aduku believes the team has learned important lessons from the first leg and is fully prepared for the upcoming match in Senegal.
The first leg encounter in Abeokuta saw Akekoromowei sustain an injury, forcing her off the pitch. Aduku commended the team for regrouping and adjusting tactics in the second half, emphasizing discipline and focus for the return leg in Senegal.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5 pm Senegal time (6 pm Nigeria time), with the winner advancing to the final round of the African qualifiers for the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup in Poland in September 2026.
