12th AG: Falconets Progress To Semifinal
Nigeria’s U20 women team, the Falconets on Wednesday advanced to the 2019 African Games women’s tournament semi-finals after forcing Cameroon to a 1-1 draw in their second group B match at Stade des Chenes in Morocco.
The Christopher Danjuma led side are now on 4pts in Group B and will next play Zambia in their last group stage match on Saturday.
Nigeria’s women’s team won the gold medal at the Women’s Football Tournament of the 8th All-Africa Games that the country hosted in October 2003, repeating the feat in Algiers four years later. But the girls failed to qualify for the 10th All-Africa Games in Maputo in 2011 before finishing in fourth place in Brazzaville, Congo four years ago.
