Head Coach Bankole Olowookere called up 25 players to the camp of the Flamingos, ahead of next month’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture against Burkina Faso.
The coach, who led the Flamingos to a first-ever World Cup bronze medal-finish in India last year, expects his girls to stop at nothing in clinching victory in this round of qualifiers.
The likes of Harmony Chidi, who scored five of the 12 goals, as well as Ramota Kareem and Shakirat Moshood who netted a brace each in the 12-goal haul, are among the 25 players called.
Both teams will clash in the first leg of this third-round fixture at the Stade 4 August in Ouagadougou on Sunday, 12th May with the return leg at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, 18th May.
This year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals will take place in the Dominican Republic.
Nigeria are the most successful African team in the history of the tournament.
