Falconets don show them say! ⚽💪
Nigeria’s U-20 women’s team, the Falconets, got off to a flying start in their 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier. They defeated Malawi 2-0 in the first leg at Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne.
Match Breakdown An own goal by Malawi’s Maureen Kenneth in the 46th minute gave the Falconets the lead. Then, Kindness Ifeanyi added a beautiful second goal eight minutes later to make it 2-0.
The Falconets dominated most of the game and created many scoring chances. Captain Igbokwe and the entire team showed great control and fighting spirit against a tough Malawi side.
What This Means This strong victory gives Nigeria a commanding lead ahead of the second leg in Lilongwe on May 9. With four slots available for Africa at the 2026 tournament in Poland, the Falconets are now in a very good position to qualify.
Truth Delivered The Falconets have shown again why they remain one of Africa’s strongest youth teams. Consistent hard work and good preparation are paying off. We celebrate this win and wish them success in the return leg.
To the girls: Keep the fire burning. Nigeria is proud of you!
