Nigeria U20 women depart for 2019 All African Games

The Nigeria U20 women's team will fly out of the country for the 2019 All African Games women's football tournament in Morocco on Thursday.

The Falconets commenced training for the continental showpiece on July 8 and concluded their preparations with a 1-0 win over Squad One Football Academy 1-0 on Sunday.

Captain Monday Gift's solitary effort was all Christopher Danjuma's side needed to claim a morale-boosting win at the Fifa Goal Project pitch in Abuja.

It was the third win in a row for the team, with Gift on target in all the three warm-up games for the women's championship scheduled to be held from August 17 to 29 in Rabat.
