Falconets get Australia and Mexico in Pre-World Cup friendlies

Nigeria U-20 women’s national team, the Falconets, will face Australia and Mexico in friendly matches as part of their preparation for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

These fixtures will take place in Colombia, where the final phase of their training camp is scheduled for next month.

The Falconets began their World Cup preparations in Abuja two weeks ago, with a squad currently consisting of 32 players vying for spots on the final team roster.

Nigeria is drawn into a challenging group that includes three-time champions Germany, Venezuela, and Korea.

These friendly matches against Australia and Mexico are vital for the Falconets to fine-tune their strategies and assess their readiness for the tournament.
