Liberia Stand in Nigeria’s Way to FIFA Under Seventeen Women’s Word Cup
Crossing the Liberian hurdle to the FIFA Under 17 women’s world cup starts for Nigeria on 9 June 2024.
The Nigerian team will first play away to their Liberian opponents in the World Cup final African qualifying at the Samuel Kanyon Doe stadium.
The match in the Liberian capital will kick off at 4pm Liberia time (5pm in Nigeria).
Nigeria coach Bankole Olowookere’s maidens have made their way into the fourth and final qualifying round following a 12-0 second round annihilation of their counterparts from Central African Republic, after which they dispatched Burkina Faso’s U17 girls 7-1 on aggregate.
The Liberian girls were the big surprise of the third round, edging out Senegal on the away goals rule after a 2-0 win in Monrovia in the second leg of a tie that the Senegalese thought they had wrapped up after a 3-1 win in Dakar.
The Flamingos will host the return leg at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Friday, 14th June starting from 4pm.
The winner on aggregate will emerge as one of Africa’s three representatives at this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals in the Dominican Republic.
