Falconets Now Set to Play Sierra Leone in a 2014 World Cup Qualifier.

Nigeria’s women under-20 team lines up against their Sierra Leonean counterparts in the first round of the African qualifiers for the 2014 Fifa U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada.

This, according to a letter from the Confederation of African Football (Caf), is as a result of the withdrawal of Burkina Faso from the race to the women’s soccer showpiece.

The Falconet hosts the first round of the two-legged tie at the newly refurbished Abuja National Stadium on October 26 before flying to Freetown for the return leg slated for November 9.
