Flamingos To Remain In Camp For Algeria Battle
Nigeria’s U-17 girls football team, the Flamingos, are to remain in camp as they prepare the final round of qualification series for this year’s FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup finals, in which they confront their Algerian counterparts.
The first leg encounter will take place on Saturday, 19th April at the Remo Stars’ Stadium, Ikenne-Remo, with both teams to clash in the final leg in Algeria a week later.
2022 World Cup bronze medallists Nigeria beat South Africa’s Bantwana 3-1 in Pretoria and followed this up with a 2-0 win in Ikenne at the weekend, for a 5-1 aggregate win that condemned the visitors to trying their luck again next year, while Nigeria progressed to the final round.
On their part, Algeria lost 2-1 to Botswana in Gaborone in the first leg, but fired on all cylinders to win the return 4-0 on home soil to be eligible to confront Nigeria for a ticket to this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals in Morocco.
