Fatima Uloko, a goalkeeper hailing from Ishibori-Ogoja, has been named to the Nigeria U-20 Women’s National Team, known as the Falconets, as they prepare for their upcoming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
The Rivers Angels shot-stopper’s impressive performances have earned her a spot in the squad ahead of the crucial two-legged qualifier against Rwanda. The call-up is a significant milestone for the young athlete and a source of pride for her home community.
The Falconets, under the new head coach Moses Aduku, are set to resume camping in Abuja as they begin preparations for the qualifier matches scheduled to take place on September 21 in Kigali and September 27 in Ibadan.
Uloko’s inclusion in the national team highlights the growing talent pool within Nigerian women’s football and offers her a fantastic opportunity to represent her country on a global stage. The Ogoja community has extended congratulations to Fatima Uloko on this remarkable achievement.
