Head Coach Bankole Olowookere is confident that the Nigeria U17 girls, Flamingos, will not let up when they take on their Liberian counterparts in a FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup final qualifying match in Abuja on Friday.


“We are ready for the match on Friday. The girls are eager to go because they want to qualify for the World Cup. They are already dreaming of flying to the Dominican Republic.


“There is so much excitement in camp, and they are self-assured. However, I have warned them that it is never over until it's over.


“There should be no display of over-confidence on the pitch. We must approach the match as if the first leg was a drawn game.”


Nigeria won the first leg 4-1 in Monrovia on Sunday, with Harmony Chidi, who has scored 11 goals in the qualifying series, Shakirat Moshood, Peace Effiong, and substitute Blessing Ifitezue all scoring goals for the Flamingos.


“The hosts got their consolation goal from a penalty awarded five minutes before the end of the match at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in Paynesville.


The Flamingos will participate in the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup for the seventh time once they overcome Friday’s hurdle.


They debuted at the inaugural edition in New Zealand in 2008, and subsequently participated in Trinidad and Tobago 2010, Azerbaijan 2012, Costa Rica 2014, Jordan 2016, and India 2022, where they won bronze medals.
