Nigeria’s Falconets have been forced to make two changes to their squad for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup following visa issues involving captain Joe Igbokwe and defender Faridat Abdulwahab.

The duo were unable to secure entry visas to Poland and have consequently been replaced in the squad by Vivian Kachi and Alaba Olabiyi.

Moses Aduku’s side arrived in Trzebnica, Poland, on Tuesday and have since stepped up preparations for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

The Falconets have been drawn in Group F alongside Spain, China PR and New Caledonia.

Aduku’s side will begin their campaign against Spain on Monday, 7 September.
