Morocco 2025: South Africa’s Bantwana storms Lagos, promise upset

Posted : 13 March 2025

The delegation of South Africa’s U-17 girls, Bantwana, is scheduled to arrive in Lagos on Wednesday evening, ahead of Saturday’s second-leg qualifying match against Nigeria’s Flamingos for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup second round.


A brace by Harmony Chidi, following Shakirat Moshood’s goal, led Nigeria to a 3-1 victory over their hosts in Pretoria on Saturday. However, Bantwana have issued a strong warning that they will not lie down and be easily defeated in Ikenne.


Team captain Katleho Malebana, whose goal early in the second half raised Bantwana’s hopes before Chidi’s second goal and Nigeria’s third, assured that the South Africans will contest every blade of grass with their hosts at the Remo Stars Stadium on Saturday.


Saturday’s encounter will kick off at 4 p.m., with Senegalese match officials in charge. CAF has appointed Aida Sy as the referee, while her compatriots Ndeye Aissa Ndiaye, Ndeye Sarr Ndiaye, and Fatoumata Sall Toure will serve as assistant 1, assistant 2, and fourth official, respectively.


Ghanaian Naa Odofoley Nortey will be the commissioner, while Agar Mezing from Cameroon will be the referee assessor.


The winner on aggregate will progress to the final round of the qualification series. This year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup will take place in Morocco from 17 October to 8 November. Africa will present five teams (including host nation Morocco) at the finals, which has been expanded to a 24-nation championship.


The Flamingos have intensified their preparation with training sessions at the Remo Stars Institute in Ikenne-Remo ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
