Olowookere optimistic of Flamingos' performance in Dominican Republic

Posted : 08 October 2024

Bankole Olowookere, head coach of Nigeria's U-17 women's football team, the Flamingos, has expressed optimism that the team will excel at the upcoming FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic.


Olowookere disclosed that the team is fully prepared for the championship.


The coach stated that the girls are determined and ready to give their best for positive results at the tournament.


"We arrived in Santo Domingo on Thursday and started training immediately on Friday; this shows the team's readiness.


"We want the girls to get accustomed to the environment before the championship begins.


"All the players, from goalkeepers to attackers, defenders, and midfielders, have been training hard.


"The girls will engage in a series of warm-up games before the World Cup kicks off," he said.


He mentioned that the team aims to surpass their previous standing from the last edition of the tournament.


"We urge Nigerians to support us with prayers so we can achieve victory and bring home desirable results," he said.


The coach added that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has provided the team with the necessary support to succeed.


"With seriousness, determination, a high level of discipline, and dedication, the girls will excel at the World Cup," he said.


The Flamingos arrived in Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic, on Wednesday for a two-week training tour.


The Flamingos are among the 24 countries participating in the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic.


They have been drawn into Group A of the finals alongside host nation and debutant Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and New Zealand.


Matches will be played in two Dominican cities: Santo Domingo, at the Felix Sanchez Stadium, and Santiago de los Caballeros, at the Cibao FC Stadium.


The Flamingos claimed their first-ever bronze medal at the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India after defeating Germany 3-2 on penalties.


The 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup marks the 8th edition of the tournament, which will conclude on November 3.
