The Nigeria U17 girls’ team, the Flamingos, will arrive in Monrovia on Thursday ahead of their first-leg encounter in the final qualifying round for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup against Liberia. The match is scheduled for Sunday.
The Flamingos, bronze medallists at the 2022 World Cup, have displayed dominant form in their previous qualifying matches, overwhelming the Central African Republic with a 12-goal aggregate and crushing Burkina Faso 7-1.
Their opponents, Liberia, having ousted Senegal, now face a formidable challenge against the skillful Nigerian squad. Coach Bankole Olowookere has affirmed the team’s determination to secure a spot in the Dominican Republic for a chance to vie for the trophy.
