Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, are on the brink of learning their group opponents for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, with the draw expected later today provided they complete the qualification process for the tournament.
FIFA has confirmed that the formal draw ceremonies for both the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup will be held in Zurich as part of the World Football Week celebrations.
Meanwhile, the Flamingos are focused on a crucial qualifying tie against Guinea. The first match of the two-legged encounter is set for Conakry this weekend, as Nigeria aims to secure another trip to the global stage following strong showings in recent editions of the competition.
