Head Coach Bankole Olowookere has called up 25 players to the camp of Nigeria’s U17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, ahead of the WAFU B U17 Girls’ Cup competition, scheduled to take place in Ghana from December 12 to 26, 2024.

The gaffer has drawn primarily from the core group of players that not only reached the quarter-finals of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in the Dominican Republic a few weeks ago but also won the FIFA Fair Play Trophy in the competition.
