Flamingos Return to Ikenne, Set to Seal FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup Ticket
Nigeria’s U17 girls, the Flamingos, have returned to camp in Ikenne-Remo after securing a commanding 5-0 victory over Guinea in Abidjan, as preparations immediately shift towards the decisive second leg of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
The delegation departed Abidjan on Sunday morning aboard ASKY Airlines, leaving Côte d’Ivoire at 9:35am local time before arriving in Lomé, Togo at 10:35am.
From the Gnassingbé Eyadéma International Airport in Lomé, the team continued their journey back to Nigeria, arriving at their training base in Ikenne shortly after midnight.
The return marks the beginning of another crucial phase for the team as attention now turns to the second leg scheduled for Sunday, 30th May at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne.
Having produced an emphatic first-leg display in Abidjan, the 2022 World Cup bronze-medallists will look to finish the job on home soil as Nigeria’s push for qualification to the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco continues.
