Colombia 2024: Falconets Head To Bogotá For Final Preparations

Two-time finalists Nigeria will set up camp in Bogotá, the Colombian capital, starting Sunday for a two-week final training period ahead of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup, which kicks off at the end of this month.

The ever-competitive Falconets, who previously reached the semi-finals in Japan 12 years ago and the quarter-finals in 2006, 2018, and 2022, secured their spot in this year’s tournament by defeating Tanzania and Burundi on aggregate.

The Coach Christopher Musa Danjuma-led maidens spent four weeks in the first phase of their final camping in Abuja, during which they won a series of friendly games, losing only once.

“I want to thank the NFF for arranging the two-week camping in Colombia. This will go a long way to help the team, as the players will acclimatize very well and get familiar with their surroundings before the championship begins. I assure you that we will make the best use of this opportunity”.
