Nigeria's Under-20 Women's national team flew out to Germany on Wednesday night, after the country avoided a ban from FIFA when the government withdrew its threat to pull out of international competition for two years. The Falconets, one of 16 teams competing at the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup, were initially scheduled to depart last weekend, but those plans had to be shelved while the country's football leadership sorted out its internal crisis. Quarter- finalists at the last edition of the competition staged in Chile in November 2008, the Nigerian Falconets were set to miss the tournament in Germany following President Goodluck Jonathan’s pronouncement last week. Head Coach Egan Adat led out the final 21–person squad comprising of goalkeepers Mabel Egwuenu, Rabi Ihiabe and Alaba Jonathan. Others are Joy Jegede, Ngozi Ebere, Gloria Ofoegbu, Esther Michael, Marvis Ohale, Amarachi Okoronkwo, Ugochi Oparanozie, Rebecca Kalu, Glory Iroka, Uchechi Sunday, Esther Sunday, Helen Ukaonu, Charity Adule, Martina Ohadugha, Cecilia Nku, Ebere Orji, Blessing Edoho and Soo Adekwagh. Nigeria will play in Group C of the tournament alongside England, Mexico and Japan. The Falconets first tackle England in Augsburg next Wednesday, before taking on Japan in the same city on July 17. They will then play Mexico in Bochum on July 21. Nigeria reached the quarter-finals of the last edition of the competition in Chile in 2008 before losing to France in extra-time. http://kickoffnigeria.com/news/16641/falconets-depart-for-u-20-womens-wc.php |

Nice! It's good GEJ rescinded his decision on banning our national teams from participating in FIFA competitions. Hope the falconets get to the semi-final. |

Wouldn't this be a shame on the face of those shameful players if the women perform better? Seriously, I think the women play way better than the men. , Maybe, NFF should trade in Kaita and Yakubu for some female players.  |

semid4lyfe:I wouldn't call a clown like Yakubu a player. . . I personally think he looks more like a street hawker or a cyclist that a footballer. |

Looks like the Women's team would do better than the men. Someone should sign Yakubu up in the women's squad. |
