Major sponsor of the Nigeria national football teams, Globacom, has congratulated the Nigerian women U-20 team, the Falconets after they defeated their Congo Democratic Republic counterparts 2-0 in the second round, second leg match for the FIFA Women U-20 World Cup billed for Papua New Guinea in 2016.

The Falconets, who chalked up a 4-1 aggregate win after beating the Congolese 2-0 in the reverse fixture at Abuja National Stadium on Saturday, will now meet Basetsana of South Africa in the final round of the African qualifiers.

“We are delighted with the convincing win by the Falconets, especially after we earlier expressed our belief in the team to fly over their opponents,” Globacom said.

“The victory, coming at a time that our national women football needed fresh boost after recent run of bad results, made it more glorious. These Falconets have demonstrated their desire and capability to be the future Super Falcons.”

The next generation network also commended the team’s technical crew for what it called a job well executed.

“We enjoin the coaching crew not to rest on their oars until the ticket to Papua, New Guinea is firmly secured,” the statement further said.

“We also urge the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to do everything to motivate the players ahead of the final round of the qualifiers.”

The Falconets will host the first leg of the final qualifier against the South Africans on Saturday October 24th at the National Stadium, Abuja while the return leg will come up in Johannesburg on the 7th of November.
