Nigeria’s Falconets are set to achieve a remarkable feat at the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, becoming one of only three countries to have featured in every edition of the tournament since its inception.
The Nigerian side will join Brazil and the United States as the only nations with a perfect attendance record when the 2026 tournament gets underway in Poland.
The competition is scheduled to take place from September 5 to 27, 2026, with the tournament expanding to 24 teams for the first time.
Nigeria have participated in all 11 previous editions of the competition, which was originally launched as the FIFA U-19 Women’s World Championship in 2002 before being upgraded to the U-20 category in 2006.
