Morocco 2025: Flamingos step up preparations as Algeria’s U17 contingent flies into Lagos

Posted : 15 April 2025

Nigeria’s U17 girls, the Flamingos, have intensified preparations for this weekend’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup final qualifying round, first-leg clash with their counterparts from Algeria, scheduled to take place at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo.


The 2022 World Cup bronze medalists, under the watchful eyes of Head Coach Bankole Olowookere and his assistants, have remained in camp at the stellar Remo Stars Sports Institute since their demolition of South Africa’s Bantwana over two legs last month.


Nigeria defeated South Africa 3-1 in the first leg at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria and followed up with a 2-0 win in Ikenne-Remo for a comprehensive 5-1 aggregate score. The Algerians suffered a 2-1 loss in the first leg against Botswana in Gaborone but bounced back to win 4-0 in the return leg in North Africa.


The Algerian girls, whose senior team lost to the Super Falcons in two friendly matches in Ikenne-Remo and Lagos in October last year, will arrive in Lagos on Wednesday evening, while the match officials are expected to arrive in Nigeria on Thursday.


The Confederation of African Football has appointed Ugandan Shamirah Nabadda as the referee, with Fides Bangurambona from Burundi as assistant referee 1. Nabadda’s compatriots, Immaculate Ongiera and Diana Murungi, will serve as assistant referee 2 and fourth official, respectively.


Naa Odofoley Nortey from Ghana will be the commissioner, with South African Deidre Carmill Zealand assigned as the referee assessor.


Both teams will face off in the return leg at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in Blida (outside Algiers) on Friday, 25th April, with the winner on aggregate qualifying for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals.


This year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup will be hosted by Morocco from 17th October to 8th November, with Africa set to present 5 teams (including host nation Morocco) at the finals, which has been expanded to a 24-nation championship.
