Falconets to Learn Group Opponents for U-20 WWC Friday

Nigeria's U-20 women's national football team, known as the Falconets, will discover their group opponents for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup during a draw ceremony scheduled for Friday. The event will be broadcast across FIFA's channels to 24 countries that have already secured their spots in the biennial competition.

Matches will be held across four different cities in Poland: Bielsko-Biała, Katowice, and Sosnowiec. Former player and current Poland coach Nina Patalon, along with French football icon Laura Georg, will assist in the draw.

The Falconets are aiming to secure their first title after qualifying for the tournament with a 3-2 aggregate win over Malawi. The tournament is set to take place from September 5 to 27, 2026.
