Nigeria’s Women’s Rugby League team, the Green Falcons, are on the brink of making sporting history as they battle Fiji’s Bulikula for a spot at the 2026 Rugby League World Cup in Australia.
The highly anticipated final of the International Rugby League World Series in Canada presents a golden opportunity for Nigeria to become the first-ever African women’s rugby league team to qualify for the global tournament — and indeed, the first Nigerian rugby or oval-ball team, male or female, to reach the World Cup stage.
The Green Falcons booked their place in the final after a commanding 10-0 victory over Ireland in the semifinals, while Fiji thrashed hosts Canada 48-0 to set up a mouthwatering showdown between two sides known for their physical, fast-paced brand of rugby.
