FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup: Falconets Intensify Poland Camp Ahead of Global Showdown

Posted : 28 August 2026

Nigeria’s Falconets have hit the ground running in Poland as the team intensifies preparations for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, with the technical crew stepping up tactical and physical work ahead of the tournament.

The two-time FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup runners-up began their training programme on Wednesday at the Stadion Miejski, Fair Play Arena in Trzebnica, barely 24 hours after arriving in Poland.

Head Coach Moses Aduku and his assistants are using the camp to fine-tune the team’s tactical organisation, technical execution, physical conditioning and understanding among the players as the countdown to the championship continues.

The Falconets will have two important opportunities to assess their readiness when they take on Poland and South Korea in international friendly matches.

Nigeria will face hosts Poland on Friday, August 28, at the Municipal Stadium in Brzeg, with kick-off scheduled for 12 noon local time. The team will then confront South Korea on September 1 at the Remes Resort & Spa Football Stadium, where the encounter is billed for 4 p.m. local time.

The matches are expected to give the Nigerian side valuable exposure to different playing styles while allowing the coaching crew to assess the players and make final adjustments before the competitive action begins.

The squad has also undergone a change following visa setbacks that prevented captain Joy Igbokwe and defender Faridat Abdulwahab from joining the team. Vivian Kachi and Alaba Olabiyi have subsequently been drafted into the squad as their replacements.

The Falconets will begin their World Cup campaign in Group F against Spain on September 7 before facing China PR on September 10 and New Caledonia on September 13.

Nigeria, who finished runners-up in 2010 and 2014, will be seeking to finally cross the last hurdle and win the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup for the first time.

With the tournament fast approaching, the Trzebnica camp provides Aduku and his players with a crucial window to sharpen their game, build confidence and produce the cohesion required to mount another serious challenge for global honours.
