U-20 WWCQ: FIFA moves Burundi, Falcons qualifying tie to Dar es Salaam

The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) has moved the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup final qualifying round, first leg clash between Burundi and Nigeria to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

The game was earlier scheduled for Stade du Prince Louis Rwagasore, Bujumbura.

FIFA has, however, ruled that the stadium is unfit to host the game.

Burundi will now host the Falconets at the Azam Stadium Complex in Dar es Salaam on Sunday, January 14, 2024.

The reverse fixture will be hosted at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, January 20, 2024.

The winner over two legs will earn a berth at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup to be hosted by Colombia.

Meanwhile, all 25 players invited by Head Coach Chris Musa Danjuma for the fixture have been notified to arrive in the Federal Capital, Abuja on Wednesday, 27th December 2023 as training sessions for the first leg match commence on the following day.
