Super Falconets Depart For Canada For World Cup
Nigeria national U20 women team flew out of the country on Monday for a 24-day camping programme in Canada ahead of this year’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup campaign billed for the same country.
A delegation of 24 players and 11 officials led by NFF Chief Technical Officer Siji Lagunju left aboard Lufthansa airline from Abuja to Frankfurt where they would connect to another flight to Moncton, Canada.
Coach Peter Dedevbo said his girls are focused on a mission of doing the country and the continent proud in North America.
“We have a squad of able, courageous and confident players and I believe we have the capacity to go all the way in Canada,” Dedevbo said.
Nigeria have featured in all previous FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup finals and reached the final in Germany four years ago.
