The U17 Women National Team, Flamingoes have shown a rich vein of form as preparations hit new gear for the 5th FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup starting in Jordan on September 30. Coach Bala Nikyu’s girls displayed ferocious form with three wins in three successive friendly matches in Abuja between Tuesday and Saturday. On Tuesday, Sure Babes FC of Ilorin were the victims as Captain Rasheedat Ajibade, the team’s top scorer, hit two goals in a 4-0 win at the NFF/FIFA Goal Project pitch, in a match watched by NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, NFF Technical Director, Mr. Bitrus Bewarang and Assistant Director (Technical), Siji Lagunju. Cynthia Aku and Patricia Innocent got the other goals. On Thursday, the Flamingoes pipped Confluence Queens of Kogi 1-0 at the same venue, thanks to Cynthia Aku, who slotted in after the Queens’ goaltender failed to deal appropriately with a fierce shot by Captain Ajibade. Against QFL (Queens Football League) All-Stars on Saturday, the Flamingoes went goal-wire, hitting the opposition 8-1. Ajibade was on song with a hat–trick, while Folashade Ijamilusi and Chidinma Okeke hit a brace each, and Cynthia Aku scored once. Coach Nikyu said: “These matches have shown us exactly where we are, and we will continue to work on our weak areas. Our target is to ensure that the girls play as a team, have good control of the ball and achieve better coordination on the field. “We are also working on their confidence level. They need to approach each game with a level of confidence, without under-rating any team. Certainly, we are going to play more friendly matches before the World Cup.” Nigeria will tackle Brazil, England and 2008 champions Korea DPR in the group stage at the 5th FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, taking place in Jordan on September 30 to October 21, 2016. The Flamingoes’ first match is against Brazil on 1st October, Nigeria’s Independence Day. https://www.channelstv.com/2016/08/28/flamingoes-good-form-world-cup/ 1 Like 1 Share |

This is the problem with Nigerian football, when they should be graduating to the super falcons, they'll rather keep playing several age grade tournaments. Each of them keep playing twice at the u-20 and u-17 level. Even Rashidat Ajibade, are we saying she was 14year old when she represented us the last time? Though she looks very young sha. |

BELGIUM BASED NIGERIA INVITEE VALERIE PROVOKING MEMORIES OF FALCONS LEGEND MERCY AKIDE 18 year old Nigeria female national under-20 invitee Valerie Awelewa is drawing comparison with former Super Falcons forward and female football legend Mercy Akide. She is in the list of 30 players called up to camp by coach Peter Devdevbo ahead of Nigeria’s campaign at the Under-20 World Cup billed for Papua New Guinea in November later this year. Followers of the exploits of the teen forward revealed to Owngoalnigeria.com , that she is every inch like Akide, one of the early stars of female football in Nigeria judging by her performances for SK Herkenrode. Aside their similarity in physical appearance and role on the pitch, Valerie has also got an intimidating record like Akide, who was nicknamed Marvelous Mercy due to her goal scoring abilities. Last season she scored 18 goals to emerge as one of the top scorers of the female game in Belgium, where she is highly respected by watchers of female football. Valerie will be hoping to make the Nigeria’s team to the World Youth Championship (Fifa U-20 Women world cup) where they are in same group with Spain, Japan and Canada in group B.
