After a 4-1 away win in the first leg, Nigeria’s U17 girls, the Flamingos, are eager to wrap up their FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualification on a high note as they host their counterparts from Liberia at the MKO Abiola National Stadium on Friday evening.


Goals from Harmony Chidi, Peace Effiong, Shakirat Moshood, and substitute Blessing Ifitezue secured Nigeria a convincing victory in Monrovia last Sunday. Now, only 90 minutes separate the 2022 bronze medalists from another appearance at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, this time in the Dominican Republic.


Nigeria's forward Harmony Chidi has been the standout player of this qualifying campaign globally, scoring 11 goals in five matches, with the prospect of adding to her tally at the MKO Abiola National Stadium on Friday.


The attacking prowess of the Nigerian team has been remarkable, with a 12-0 aggregate win (6-0 in each leg) against Central African Republic in the second round, a 7-1 aggregate against Burkina Faso (1-1 and 6-0) in the third round, and a 4-1 victory against their hosts in Monrovia in the first leg of the final round.


Nigeria has only missed one edition of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup so far – the 2018 edition in Uruguay, where Cameroon’s Baby Lionesses edged out the Flamingos on the away-goal rule in the final round.


Saturday’s match, scheduled to kick off at 4 pm, will be officiated by Egyptian referee Shahenda El-Maghrabi, assisted by May Ali Hassan, Gamalat Ahmed Shebl, and Noura Samir El-Sayed as assistant referees 1, 2, and fourth official, respectively.


Christine Ziga from Ghana will serve as the commissioner, while Tesfanesh Woreta Hailu from Ethiopia will be the referee assessor.


This year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals will be held in Santiago de los Caballeros and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from October 16th to November 3rd.
