Nigeria's U-20 women's national team are fully geared up for their opening fixture of the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup against Spain, according to head coach Moses Aduku.

The Falconets are set to kick off their tournament campaign in Group F, facing a demanding opening test against European opposition in Sosnowiec on Monday, September 7.

Aduku expressed confidence in his squad's condition following their final phase of tournament preparations. The Falconets concluded their tune-up schedule with a 1-1 draw against Korea Republic, providing the technical staff with a final evaluation of the squad before competitive action begins.

The coaching staff believes the preparatory run has given the team the necessary rhythm and tactical sharpness required to compete on the global stage.

With preparations now complete, attention turns directly to the clash in Sosnowiec. Navigating a tough Group F assignment will be critical to Nigeria's aspirations of advancing into the knockout rounds of the tournament.

The Falconets have a rich history at youth international level, and Aduku's side will be looking to establish immediate momentum when they take to the pitch on September 7.
