As the 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup approaches, Falconets coach Christopher Danjuma remains optimistic about Nigeria’s chances of success in the tournament, set to take place in Colombia.
Speaking to FIFA media, Danjuma expressed confidence that his team is nearing its long-held dream of winning the prestigious tournament.
“We’re closing in on our goal,” Danjuma stated, adding that it is time for Africa to claim the title. “As Africans, we have a spiritual perspective. We are confident that now is the right time to emulate the opportunities and events of 2010 and 2014. I am certain Africa will stand at the top of the world for the first time.”
The Falconets have participated in every edition of the tournament since its inception and have reached the final twice, in 2010 and 2014.
The team has produced several world-class players, including Asisat Oshoala and Desire Oparanozie, who have gone on to have successful careers.
This year, Nigeria is placed in a challenging group alongside three-time champions Germany, Venezuela, and the Korean Republic.
Despite the competition, Danjuma remains confident that his team has the ability to achieve their ultimate goal of becoming world champions.
The Falconets' preparations for the tournament are well underway as they aim to deliver a historic victory for Nigeria and Africa on the global stage.
