Nigeria out after 1-0 loss to Colombia; U-20 Women's WWC semis set in Poland

Colombia edged Nigeria 1-0 in the quarter‑final of the 2026 FIFA U‑20 Women’s World Cup, ending the Falconets’ run in Poland. North Korea also advanced with a 2‑0 win over Canada, while Spain and Italy had already secured their semi‑final spots from Saturday’s matches. The semi‑finals will kick off on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, with Italy facing Spain in the afternoon, followed by Colombia versus North Korea later that day.

For Nigerian fans, the loss means no African representative remains in the last four, a blow after the team showed promise earlier in the tournament. It highlights the gap to be addressed in youth development and prompts questions about preparation for the next age‑group competitions.

You can watch the semi‑finals on FIFA’s official broadcast partners or local sports channels. Will you tune in to see how the remaining teams fare, or use this moment to reflect on what the Falconets need to improve for future tournaments?
