In preparation for the U-20 Women’s World Cup, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has announced plans to hold a comprehensive four-week training camp for the Super Falconets.

This initiative aims to ensure the team’s optimal performance at the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup finals in Colombia.

The decision was announced following the Executive Committee meeting of the Federation on Wednesday, held in hybrid mode to address key matters in Nigerian football.

“In order to ensure an impressive performance of the U20 Women National Team, Falconets, at this year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals in Colombia, 31st August – 22nd September, the Executive Committee mandated its Technical and Development Sub-Committee to diligently and swiftly consider the programme submitted by the Head Coach for the team’s preparation.

“The Board approved a two-phase camping for the team, with a four-week camping in Nigeria to be followed by a two-week final camping programme in Colombia before the commencement of the tournament.”

Scheduled to take place from August 31 to September 22 in Colombia, Nigeria is drawn in Group D alongside Germany, Korea Republic, and Venezuela.

The Falconets have consistently qualified for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup since its inception as an U-19 tournament in Canada 22 years ago but have yet to claim the title.

With runner-up finishes in 2010 and 2014, the team is determined to vie for the championship this year.
