Fifa UNDER 20 women's worldcup qualifiers 2018:falconets beat Basetsana
Nigeria's Under-20 girls, Falconets, will
depart from their final training camp in
Tirol, Austria on Thursday, August 2 for the
FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup, with
high level of confidence after scoring seven
goals and conceding none in two friendly
games.
The 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cup silver
medallists hammered Austrian Women
League top flight team, FC Wacker
Innsbruck 4-0 in their final pre-tournament
friendly in Tirol, Austria on Saturday, with a
brace from top scorer Rasheedat Ajibade
and one each from Adebisi Saheed and
Chinyere Igboamalu. A few days earlier, the
Nigerian girls had spanked another
Austrian top flight side, FC Bergheim 3-0.
Saturday's match in Tirol was also watched
by Nigeria's Youth and Sports Minister
Solomon Dalung.
Ajibade, who plays for FC Robo Queens of
Lagos and also featured at the last
tournament in Papua New Guinea, top-
scored for Nigeria in the African qualifying
campaign and is heavily touted to dazzle
the world in France next month.
Nigeria's Asisat Oshoala was the top
scorer and best player at the 2014 finals in
Canada, where the Falconets finished as
runners-up behind Germany.
