Reports reaching Softfootball Nigeria indicate that Falconets captain Joy Igbokwe is set to miss the FIFA U‑20 Women’s World Cup in Poland following a visa setback.
Although the exact issue causing the delay cannot be fully ascertained at the moment, Softfootball understands that the Nasarawa Amazons midfielder will be unable to travel, as her visa is still not out with only a few days left before the competition begins.
It is expected that Joy Igbokwe will be replaced by another player in the squad. However, she is not the only one affected, as internal reports suggest other players have also encountered similar visa issues related to FIFA’s travel processes.
