Nigeria’s Falconets are set to face Malawi in a two-legged showdown for a spot at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in May.
The first leg will take place in Nigeria between May 1 and 3, at a venue yet to be confirmed, while Malawi will host the return fixture in Blantyre between May 8 and 10, 2026.
The Falconets reached the final qualifying round after edging Senegal 3-1 on aggregate, winning 1-0 at home in Abeokuta before claiming a 2-1 victory away.
Meanwhile, Malawi dominated Guinea-Bissau 6-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round to secure their place in the last stage.
The side that prevails over the two legs will earn the right to compete at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, scheduled to be hosted by Poland from September 5 to 27, 2026.
