Nigeria’s U20 Women National Team, Falconets, will depart Nigeria for Morocco on Thursday to take part in the Women’s Football Tournament of the 12th All-Africa Games scheduled for Rabat, Morocco from 17th – 29th August.

The Falconets will battle Cameroon, South Africa and Zambia in Group B of the tournament.

Host nation Morocco, Equatorial Guinea, Mali and Algeria are in Group A.

Nigeria’s women’s team won the gold medal at the Women’s Football Tournament of the 8th All-Africa Games hosted by Nigeria in October 2003, repeating the feat in Algiers four years later. But the girls failed to qualify for the 10th All-Africa Games in Maputo in 2011 before finishing in fourth place in Brazzaville, Congo four years ago.
