The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has approved a request by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for a change of venue of the 2026 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup third round, first leg qualifying match between Nigeria and Senegal, scheduled for Saturday, 7th February 2026.
NFF’s Director of Competitions, Ruth David, confirmed that the match will now be played at the MKO Abiola Sports Complex in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
According to her, the NFF requested a change of venue as a result of the deteriorating state of the playing pitch of the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, that had earlier been approved for the match, and which actually hosted the Falconets’ second round, second leg clash with the Rwanda U20 girls in September last year.
