Nigeria’s under‑17 women’s national team, known as the Flamingos, are set to face North Korea in their final Group B match of the FIFA U‑17 Women’s World Cup.
The encounter, scheduled to decide which side will advance to the last 16, comes after the Flamingos have already secured a place in the knockout stage with a win over one of their group opponents.
In a statement ahead of the game, the Nigerian Football Federation said the team will “seek to overcome North Korea” and “target a scalp” in the match, underscoring the importance of a win to maintain their position in the group.
North Korea, who have also progressed from Group B, will look to halt Nigeria’s momentum and secure a place in the next round of the tournament.
Both sides will be keen to finish the group stage on a high note, with the winner moving on to compete for a place in the tournament’s final stages.
