Qualifiers For The Under-20 World Cup: Mauritius Pulls Out Of Competition Against Super Falconets....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Nigerian Under-20 Women’s team, Super Falconets, have progressed to the third round of the African Under-20 Women’s World Cup qualification campaign for Colombia 2024.
This development followed the notification by the Mauritius Football Association to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding their Under-20 Women’s National team’s decision to withdraw from their match against the Super Falconets

Initially, the Mauritian women were scheduled to host the first leg of the qualifiers a week before the second leg, which was planned for October 14 at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja.
However, a statement from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday, September 28, confirmed that CAF had conveyed the change in plans. According to CAF’s message, “Mauritius FA informed CAF of the withdrawal from the African qualifiers of FIFA U-20 WWC 2024. Consequently, Nigeria advances to the next round of the competition, and the missions of all officials of matches 37 & 38 are canceled.”
Mauritius had earned their place in the second round of qualification by defeating Chad’s under-20 women’s team. They were anticipated to provide strong competition for the Super Falconets in the third round. However, Nigeria’s advancement to the next stage now occurs without a match.
In the Colombia 2024 U-20 Women’s World Cup, two African teams will compete, with the Super Falconets being one of the expected contenders.
Notably, the Nigerian team reached the quarterfinals of the 2022 edition of the tournament in Costa Rica before being defeated 2-0 by The Netherlands. While the Super Falconets have advanced to the Under-20 World Cup finals in 2010 and 2014, both times they were defeated by Germany.
This marks the second instance in less than a month in which a women’s team withdrew from international qualification games against Nigerian women’s teams, as Sao Tome and Principe’s women’s team also withdrew from Women’s AFCON qualifiers against the Super Falcons earlier this month.
