On Saturday morning, Akekoromowei struck twice while Favour Nkwocha added another as the Falconets cruised past arch-rivals Ghana in their opening game.

The victory underlined the team’s intent to maintain Nigeria’s dominance in women’s youth football across West Africa.

Barely twenty-four hours later, Kareem found the net in the 15th and 60th minutes against the hosts, Bénin Republic, before Precious Oscar sealed the win with a late strike to make it 3–0.

With just three teams in the competition, each side will face one another twice.

The Falconets, sitting comfortably at the top with six points and a +5 goal difference, will meet Ghana again on Tuesday before concluding the round with another clash against Bénin on Wednesday.
