Nigerian coach Bolu Fagborun is seeking advice from leading NRLW coaches as the Green Falcons aim to secure the final women's berth at the 2026 World Cup.
Fagborun has been in contact with coaches such as John Strange, Karyn Murphy, and Tony Herman, and plans to visit a number of NRL clubs.
Fagborun, who played for Huddersfield alongside NRL stars Michael De Vere and Ben Roarty, is proud of his players' efforts in adapting to playing at high altitudes in Kenya.
He believes that qualifying for the RLWC2026, or even just the match against Ireland, would have a significant impact on rugby league in Nigeria.
Fagborun will be meeting potential heritage players and sponsors in Australia to boost Nigeria's bid for the World Cup.
Nigeria must win the inaugural women's World Series in Canada to qualify for the RLWC2026.
Fagborun expressed his enthusiasm, stating that winning a place in the tournament would be a "game changer" for the development of the sport in Nigeria.
The coach's determination is clear as he makes efforts to gather support and expertise to help his team succeed on the world stage.
