This year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals will be staged in Colombia, 31st August – 22nd September, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes. 

Nigeria’s U20 girls have intensified their training sessions in Abuja ahead of Saturday’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup final qualifying run-out against their counterparts from Burundi, at the MKO Abiola National Stadium.

Head coach Chris Danjuma, who also led the team to the quarter-finals at the last edition of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica, is confident the Falconets will build on their 1-0 first leg victory in Dar es Salaam last Sunday to send the Burundians packing.
