Nigeria’s U-20 Women’s national team, the Falconets,
will depart Nigeria for Papua New Guinea on Sunday ahead of the 8th
FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final holding from 13 November to 3 December
2016.
The
delegation of 21 players and officials led by head coach Peter Dedevbo will fly out of the country aboard an Emirate
Airlines flight from Lagos on Sunday evening, according to the
Nigeria Football Federation. The
Falconets, runners-up at the last edition of the championship (Canada 2014),
defeated Liberia, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa home and away
to qualify for the World Cup.
Nigeria will
open their World Cup campaign on November 13 against Japan before
matches against Canada and Spain respectively. Falconets reached the
quarter-finals in Thailand 2004, Russia 2006 and Chile 2008, the semi-finals in
Japan 2012 and finished in second place in Germany 2010 and Canada 2014.
