Nigeria’s Falconets were held to a 1-1 draw by South Korea in their final international friendly ahead of the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland today
Mary Mamudu found the back of the net to give the Nigerian U-20 women’s team the lead in the 29th minute at the Remes Sports Leisure and Spa Stadium.
The Falconets maintained their advantage until half-time.
South Korea, however, returned from the break determined to find a way back into the contest and eventually drew level in the 78th minute after being awarded a penalty.
The match built on the earlier game, in which Nigeria secured a 1-0 victory over hosts Poland, with Mamudu also scoring the goal.
Tuesday’s result means Nigeria completed their final warm-up fixtures ahead of the World Cup with a victory over Poland and a draw against South Korea.
Speaking after the match, head coach Moses Aduku said in a video posted on the Super Falcons’ X handle that the team had completed its preparations without any injury concerns and was ready for the tournament.
