Nigeria’s Falconets will depart Abuja on Monday for Poland as they step up preparations for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
The team, led by head coach Moses Aduku, has spent several weeks in camp in Abuja, where the players have undergone intensive training ahead of the global tournament.
The squad is expected to use its final days in Europe to sharpen its tactics, build team cohesion and adjust to the conditions ahead of the competition.
As part of their preparations, the Falconets are scheduled to play friendly matches against hosts Poland and Korea Republic.
The two warm-up games will provide Aduku with an opportunity to assess his players and fine-tune his tactical approach before the tournament begins.
Nigeria have been drawn in Group F alongside Spain, China and New Caledonia.
The Falconets will open their World Cup campaign against Spain on Monday, September 7, at the Arena Sosnowiec.
The encounter will be followed by further group-stage fixtures against China and New Caledonia as Nigeria aim to advance to the knockout rounds.
The Falconets remain one of Nigeria’s most successful youth national teams, having consistently made strong appearances at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
With the tournament approaching, Aduku will hope the team’s extended training camp and final friendly matches provide the necessary preparation for a difficult group-stage campaign.
