FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup: Nigeria’s Flamingos battle USA for semi-final ticket

The stage is set for the first-ever meeting between USA and Nigeria at the ongoing FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India.The Flamingos and their American opponents seek a berth in the semifinal stage, having navigated through the group stage as runners-up and top finishers, respectively.

Friday’s quarter-final contest is billed for the D.Y.Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai with kickoff fixed for 12 noon Nigerian time. For the Flamingos, the stakes are even higher, as no Nigerian team in past editions of this tournament has made it to the semi-final, let alone win the competition.

However, Coach Bankole Olowookere and his girls believe they can end the country’s 14-year wait for a last-four berth on their fourth quarterfinal appearance.

Though widely seen as superpowers in women’s football, the Americans do not boast of a fantastic record at this level either. They also seek to reach the semis for the first time since 2008 when they finished as runners-up at the inaugural edition in New Zealand.

Having recovered from their shaky start against Germany, the Flamingos recorded back-to-back victories over New Zealand and Chile.Many are keen to see how they will fare against the free-scoring American team which won two and drew one of their group-stage fixtures
