Nigeria’s women U-20 team, the Falconets, will face former champions, Germany, Venezuela and South Korea in Group D at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia from August 31 to September 22.
The draw ceremony took place in Bogota, Colombia on Wednesday with 24 teams set to participate in the competition for the first time.
The Nigerians beat South Korea 1-0 in the group stage of the 2022 edition in Costa Rica courtesy of forward Esther Onyenezide’s late strike.
The Falconets have been runners-up twice in the competition (2010 and 2014) – agonisingly losing both to the Germans.
