\n
Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Mohammed Sanusi has lauded the Flamingos despite their quarter-final elimination at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
The Flamingos won all their three group stage matches.<\/p>\n
The Bankole Olowookere side, however, fell 2-0 to USA in the quarter-final.<\/p>\n
Sanusi said the girls need to be encouraged despite their failure to make it to the last four.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Nigeria Football Federation is proud of the Flamingos and the efforts they put into the competition. Two years ago, they defeated the USA on penalties at the same stage, on their way to collecting the bronze medals. That is football for you,\u201d Sanusi told thenff.com.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you watched their games, you will agree that the girls put up a great fight in every match. They swept through their group phase, collecting the maximum nine points and scoring nine goals while conceding only one. They created several chances against the USA but were quite unlucky. This is a good team and the players must be encouraged going forward. I believe a good number of them have the skill, temperament and discipline to progress to the U20 squad.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Flamingos arrived the country from Dominican Republic on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Morocco will host the next edition of the FIFA U-17 Women\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n
