Nigeria confirms Fifa visit amid 2020 U20 Women’s World Cup bid

A Fifa inspection team will arrive in Nigeria on Monday to run the rule over facilities for the country’s Fifa U20 Women’s World Cup 2020 hosting rights bid, the Nigeria Football Federation [NFF] confirmed on Sunday.

Last month, Goal had exclusively reported that Nigeria is in the race to secure the hosting rights for the women’s youth tournament after they submitted a late bid earlier this year.

Christopher Exley, Sara Jane Booth, Kliment Taseski, Rhiannon Ceirwen Martin and Heyral Kaj Jurgen are the Fifa officials expected in Abuja by Nigeria's top football officers on Monday.
