All is set for the first encounter between Nigerian Falconets and France’s U20 side. The team is ready and has been warned by Head Coach Christopher Danjuma that the game with France is not a picnic. With that at the back of their minds, the girls will be ready to give it all to have a sound footing in the group.
The team landed in Costa Rica and has since started fine-tuning preparations for the tournament.
The Falconets will play France at the Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, San José in Costa Rica.
Soccer lovers in Nigeria will have to stay awake this night to watch the match because the kick-off of the Nigeria-France game is 12 AM midnight on Friday, August 12, 2022.
About the Readiness of the Nigerian team from their coach
The Falconets had a fantastic and almost flawless qualification series. However, this is not the qualification but the fierce 2022 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
He said, “The World Cup stage is about players’ mentality; we have prepared the team very well in that area.
“You have to go out there, aim to be the best, and work hard to be the best. It is not picnic. I believe that these girls will do Nigeria proud.
“Playing seven matches in the African qualifying series toughened the team very well, and we have also worked on their psyche.
“Nigeria has never been also-ran at this level. Having reached the Final twice and made the semi-finals once, the Falconets have pedigree in this championship.
“We cannot afford to falter. We will take it one match at a time, beginning with the game against France.”
