Nigeria’s U-20 women’s team, the Falconets, have pitched camp in Ibadan as they fine-tune preparations for their crucial 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Rwanda’s She-Amavubi.

Fresh from a 1-0 first-leg win in Kigali—secured by Alaba Olabiyi’s 70th-minute strike—the squad travelled directly from Rwanda on Monday and received a warm welcome from Oyo State Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Hon. Wasilat Adegoke, on arrival at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba.

The return leg, set for Saturday at the same venue, will decide who advances to the next round of qualifiers. The Confederation of African Football has appointed Gambian referee Ngum Fatou to oversee the match, assisted by Jainaba Manneh and Abbie Ceesay, with Isatou Touray as fourth official. Liberia’s Jodie Marian Reid Seton will serve as match commissioner, while Egypt’s Hayam Mohammed Baraka takes on referee-assessor duties.
