Flamingos Face Brazil for a Place in the 2026 U-17 World Cup Final
Nigeria’s Flamingos are one win away from the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup final in Morocco. They face Brazil in Wednesday’s semi-final, with a place in the championship match at stake. Nigeria recovered from a 2-1 opening defeat to Poland with wins over Puerto Rico and defending champions North Korea. They then beat Mexico 2-1 in the Round of 16 before Azeezat Oduntan’s 89th-minute penalty secured a 1-0 quarter-final victory over Venezuela. Brazil forward Greise Kelly, who has scored three goals and provided five assists, will be a key threat. Nigeria will look to goalkeeper Jane Ijirigho and the rest of the team to keep their run going. Coach Hakeem Busari described reaching the semi-finals as a dream and said the team wants to make the country proud.
