Nigeria’s Falconets have made two enforced changes to their squad for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after captain Joe Igbokwe and defender Faridat Abdulwahab were unable to obtain visas to enter Poland.
Igbokwe and Abdulwahab have been replaced by Vivian Kachi and Alaba Olabiyi, respectively, in the final squad for the tournament.
The Falconets arrived in Trzebnica, Poland, on Tuesday, with head coach Moses Aduku now putting the finishing touches to his team’s preparations ahead of the competition.
Nigeria will test themselves against hosts Poland in a friendly at the Municipal Stadium in Brzeg on Friday.
