By Niyi Busari

Nigeria's U20 Women national team has landed in Casablanca Airport at 7:05 am (Nigerian time) Thursday morning ahead of their 12th African Games, BSNSports.com.ng can authoritatively report.

Falconets flew Air Maroc on Wednesday night for the 12 All African Games otherwise known as 2019 African Games billed for Morocco.

Just like the men’s tournament, all teams who participated in the African women’s Championship last year will play this tournament although this will serve as the qualifiers for the 2020 Olympic games women’s football event while the qualifier for the men’s football events at the Olympics will be the CAF U 23 Championships which is to come in Egypt later in the year.

In Group A hosts, Morocco, Algeria, Equatorial Guinea and Mali will slug it out while Africa’s most successful team at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Nigeria were handed a tough Group B draw with Cameroon, South Africa and Zambia awaiting the Christopher Danjuma led side.
