WAFU U-20 Women Tourney: Nigeria set to ambush Burkina Faso

By Rasheed Adewuyi

With a harvest of 13 goals from their two matches so far, in which they bagged maximum six points, Nigeria’s Falconets are looking forward to another goal-haul against their counterparts from Burkina Faso in Kumasi on Sunday.

The two-time World Cup silver-medallists are determined to take the wind off the sails of the Burkina Faso dames when both teams clash at the WAFU B U-20 Women Championship inside the Paa Joe Stadium.

Burkina Faso’s U-20 girls turned back their counterparts from Niger Republic 8-0, only three days after the Falconets had trashed the same team 7-0.

Both Nigeria and Burkina Faso have reached the tournament’s semi-finals, but the Falconets will insist on drawing the line between themselves and their fellow West African girls when the chips are down.

Both teams will commence hostilities at the Paa Joe Stadium at 4pm, with Togo and Niger Republic also doing the same business at the same time at the Baba Yara Stadium.
