The Nigeria's Falconets,
will begin their quest for a place at the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World
Cup against Liberia next month.
Liberia got past Sierra Leone for the right to face Nigeria, who finished as runner-up at the last tournament held in Canada.
Already, the Confederation of African
Football has appointed officials from Guinea to take charge of the first
leg of the fixture, which will take place in Monrovia on July 11.
Aissatou Inter Keita will be the
Referee, with her compatriots Fantagbe Kaba, Manty Keita and Isatou
Touray as Assistant Referee 1, Assistant Referee 2 and Reserve Referee
respectively.
Fatou Camara from Mali will be the Match Commissioner.
Powered by the pace, technical ability
and precision of Asisat Oshoala, the Falconets flew brilliantly all the
way to the final in Canada in August last year, only losing to Germany
by a lone goal. But Oshoala was adjudged the Most Valuable Player of the
Tournament, and with her seven goals, also won the Top Scorer award.
Next year’s FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup finals will be held in Papua New Guinea.
