Nigeria’s U-20 women national team, the Falconets, will depart Abuja Wednesday for Accra, Ghana for an international friendly match against the Black Princess.
The Falconets will play two matches on Friday 6 June and Sunday 8 June with Ghana as part of their preparation for the FIFA U-20 women’s World Cup slated for August in Canada.
Head coach, Peter Dedevbo says 22 players have been listed to play the two matches.
“I need to give all players the opportunity to show their skills and seek a place in the final list for Canada, especially the new players,” the coach said.
According to Dedevbo, the girls are physically and mentally fit to take on the Ghanaian side. He promised a better outing for Nigeria.
“These matches are not just friendly games, but they are opportunities to proof the superiority of the Falconets on the continent once again,” he said.
Team captain, Patience Okaeme disclosed that they are going to fight hard to win the two matches in Accra.
“We will not come back empty handed,” she boasted.
Ghana and Nigeria are the two countries to represent the continent in the 7th edition of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
The Falconets are expected to return to Nigeria on Monday 9 June.
