NFF President, Gusau calls for discipline, hardwork, in Falconet's camp ahead of World Cup campaign

Posted : 16 July 2024

The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has charged the players of Nigeria’s U-20 girls, the Falconets, to stay focused, pay attention to their coaches' instructions, work hard, and embrace discipline to achieve success at this year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals in Colombia.


The two-time runners-up Nigeria have come close but are yet to lift FIFA’s second most important trophy for the women’s game. Gusau believes hard work, discipline, and dedication can see the Falconets mount the winners’ podium this time around.


“I am aware of our country’s pedigree in the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup. Your predecessors have won the silver medal on two occasions and reached the semifinals once. Now is the time for the ultimate.


“I believe that with discipline, hard work, dedication, focus, and prayers for mother luck in your matches, you can emerge triumphant.


"These are the qualities that are necessary for success. The NFF will continue to provide the support and encouragement that you need to excel,” Gusau said as he spoke to the players after their morning training session at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project.


The 2024 finals in Colombia will be the first to welcome 24 teams, with Africa supplying four (Nigeria, Morocco, Cameroon, and Ghana). Matches will take place in four venues in three different cities (Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali).


There will be two venues in Bogotá – Estadio El Campín and Estadio El Techo. The Estadio Atanasio Girardot in Medellín and the Estadio Pascual Guerrero in Cali are the other venues.


The 2022 quarter-finalists Nigeria have been drawn to play three-time winners Germany, Venezuela, and the Korea Republic in Group D of this year’s tournament.


The final competition, which will welcome 24 teams for the first time, will be held from 31st August to 22nd September.


Group A: Colombia, Australia, Cameroon, Mexico

Group B: France, Canada, Brazil, Fiji

Group C: Spain, USA, Paraguay, Morocco

Group D: Germany, Venezuela, Nigeria, Korea Republic
