Nigeria’s U-20 women’s team, the Falconets, is set to face an intense atmosphere in Malawi after the Football Association of Malawi announced free entry for supporters ahead of the decisive second leg of their FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The initiative is designed to fill the stadium as Malawi attempts to overturn a 2–0 first-leg deficit against the Falconets, who head into the return leg with a solid advantage.
According to details released by the federation, general admission will be free for fans, while VIP tickets will be priced at Ksh 10,000 and Ksh 20,000, respectively. The move underscores Malawi’s determination to leverage strong home support in pursuit of a comeback against the seven-time African champions.
Despite the expected pressure, Nigeria remains firmly in control of the tie following their commanding first-leg performance. The Falconets will be aiming to manage the game effectively and secure qualification.
The winner on aggregate will book a place at the tournament in Poland later this year, adding further significance to what promises to be a highly charged encounter.
