The Falconets’ head coach, Chris Danjuma, has confirmed that there are no injury concerns within the team as they begin their campaign in the 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.

The Nigerian team spent the last two weeks in Bogota, Colombia, fine-tuning their strategies in preparation for the tournament.

During this period, they played two friendly matches, securing a 3-1 victory against Australia and suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Mexico.

Coach Danjuma expressed confidence in his squad’s readiness and determination to perform well.

“I am very happy that we have no case of injury in camp. The girls are all ready to go out there and make Nigeria proud,” he stated.
