Falconets coach urges team to forget England win, focus on Colombia quarterfinal
Falconets head coach Moses Aduku has told his players to move on from their 3-0 Round of 16 victory over England and concentrate fully on the upcoming quarter‑final clash against Colombia. Speaking to thenff.com, Aduku said it would be unwise to keep thinking about the England win, noting that the team had already cut short their celebration in the dressing room to shift focus. Nigeria will face Colombia in Lodz, Poland on Sunday, with kickoff set for 2 pm Nigerian time. The Colombians eliminated the host nation Poland to reach this stage and will not be an easy opponent, Aduku warned. The Falconets enter the match in buoyant morale after the England victory, but the coach stresses that past success must not distract from the task at hand. The winner of this quarter‑final will advance to the semi‑finals of the 2026 FIFA U‑20 Women’s World Cup.
