Poland 2026 Preview: Falconets, Coach Aduku Drum Support Ahead of Senegal Clash

Posted : 11 February 2026

The Head Coach of Nigeria's U-20 female team, the Falconets, Moses Aduku, has assured that despite the absence of top striker Janet Akekoromowei, the team would give it their all and overcome hosts Senegal in Saturday’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup third-round, second-leg encounter.

Akekoromowei sustained an injury in the first half of last Saturday’s first leg in Abeokuta and had to be taken off. She has been left out of the squad traveling to Dakar on Wednesday morning.

“We will overcome because we have reviewed the match and taken a lot of lessons on board.

“I commend the girls for regrouping after a tough first half, adjusting tactics and showing character in the second half. We could have won by more goals because we created a number of opportunities in that second period.

“In Senegal, we must defend resolutely and attack with purpose. We will play with focus and determination.”

The Confederation of African Football has appointed officials from the Kingdom of Morocco to take charge of the second-leg match, set for Stade Lat Dior in Thies, Senegal’s third-largest city, which is 70 kilometres from the capital, Dakar.

Zakia El Grini will be the referee, assisted by Karima Khadiri (AR1) and Ihsane Ennouajeli Nouajli (AR2), with Zoulaikha Harmasse as the fourth official. Oumou Souleymane Kane from Mauritania will be the commissioner, while Kenyan Alice Kimani will serve as referee assessor.

The match is slated to kick off at 5 p.m. Senegal time (6 p.m. Nigeria time), with the winner on aggregate progressing to the final round of the African qualifiers.

The final tournament will take place in Poland in September.
