Falconets relocate to Katowice as NFF backs Nigeria’s U20 women

Nigeria’s U20 Women’s National Team, the Falconets, have moved from their training base in Trzebnica to the Novotel Katowice Centrum, while the Nigeria Football Federation says the squad has the capacity to meet the demands ahead.

The team left Trzebnica on Thursday and arrived at the Novotel Katowice Centrum, according to an update published by the NFF on its official website.

The change of base marks the latest movement for the Falconets during their current preparations. The federation did not provide further details about the reason for the relocation or the next stage of the team’s schedule in the information released.

The update also included comments from the NFF’s Acting General Secretary, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme MON, who expressed confidence in the abilities of the team.

Ikpeme’s assessment provides official backing for the players and staff as the Falconets continue their work. His comments were issued on Thursday, the same day the squad travelled from Trzebnica to Katowice.

The Falconets are Nigeria’s U20 Women’s National Team, and their progress is being followed by the federation through its official communications channels. The NFF’s report focused on the team’s departure from its previous training location, its arrival at the Novotel Katowice Centrum and the confidence expressed by the acting general secretary.

No further information was given in the update about the length of the team’s stay at the Katowice hotel, any scheduled fixtures or the precise activities planned for the players after their arrival.

The move from Trzebnica means that the Falconets will continue their preparations from a new base in Katowice. The team’s location was confirmed by the NFF after Thursday’s transfer.

For the federation, the announcement combined a logistical update with a message of confidence in the squad. Ikpeme’s support reflects the NFF’s belief in the capacities of the national team as it continues its programme.

The Falconets’ relocation and the remarks from the acting general secretary were the two main developments highlighted in the NFF communication dated 3 September 2026.

The team’s departure from Trzebnica and arrival at the Novotel Katowice Centrum were reported without any additional match information. Similarly, Ikpeme’s expression of confidence was not accompanied by further detail about specific players, performances or targets.

The NFF update therefore establishes the latest position of the Falconets: the team has left its training base in Trzebnica, is now at the Novotel Katowice Centrum and has received a public vote of confidence from Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme MON.
