Nigeria’s U-17 women’s team, the Flamingos, will be eager to continue their quest for a spot in the 2024 FIFA Women’s World Cup as they take on Burkina Faso in the upcoming qualifying fixture scheduled to hold in Bamako, Mali on Saturday, May 11.
The 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup first leg qualifying encounter was initially scheduled for Burkina Faso’s capital, Ouagadougou, but the world body has now ruled that the venue is not up to standard.
The decision has seen the Burkinabes opt for the March 26 Stadium, Bamako.
Following their dominant 6-0 victory over Central African Republic in their previous qualifying encounter, the Nigerian girls are brimming with confidence and will be aiming for another commanding performance against Burkina Faso.
