Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has presented the Falconets with a $15,000 reward following their emphatic 4-0 victory over Rwanda in a 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifying clash.
The match, held at Ibadan’s Lekan Salami Stadium on Saturday, saw Nigeria dominate She-Amavubi from start to finish.
Makinde personally announced the incentive while addressing the team after the game.
Under coach Moses Aduku, the Falconets advanced to the third round with a 5-0 aggregate score.
Precious Oscar and Tumininu Adeshina put Nigeria ahead with two first-half goals, before Janet Akekoromowei and Alaba Olabiyi sealed the 4-0 win in the second half.
In the next stage, Nigeria will take on Senegal, who progressed with a 2-0 aggregate victory over Algeria, in February next year.
Poland is set to host the 2026 U-20 Women’s World Cup from September 5 to 27.
