The Nigerian U-20 women’s national team, the Falconets, have been handed a challenging draw for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.
The draw, which took place in Bogotá on Wednesday, placed Nigeria in Group D alongside powerhouse Germany, Venezuela, as well as Korea Republic.
For the first time in the tournament’s history, the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup will feature 24 nations, with the matches scheduled to be played across four stadiums in three Colombian cities – Bogotá, Cali, and Medellín – from August 31 to September 22.
The Falconets, who have participated in all previous editions of the tournament, will face a stern test in their quest to improve upon their impressive quarter-final finish at the 2022 edition in Costa Rica.
