Nigeria’s Falconets have been forced to adjust their final squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Captain Joe Igbokwe and defender Faridat Abdulwahab were tragically unable to secure crucial entry visas into host country Poland.
As a result, head coach Moses Aduku drafted replacements Vivian Kachi and Alaba Olabiyi directly into the final team selection. The Nigerian delegation safely arrived at their Trzebnica training base on Tuesday to intensify their tactical preparations.
Intense Polish warm-up games await resolute Falconets
The Falconets will play host nation Poland at the Municipal Stadium in Brzeg for an exciting warm-up match.
Afterwards, the West African side will clash with Korea Republic at the Remes Resort for their final test.
