No European team qualified for U17 WWC Quarter finals. See how it looks now

Ghana vs Japan
North Korea vs USA
China vs Brazil
Nigeria vs Venezuela

carbonado:
Ghana through to quarter final......they were the better team all game long, till they picked a red card, hence, Argentina, equalizing, then going to penalty kicks..they eventually won 5-4 on penalty...

Hoping our girls too can replicate this feat like the Ghanaians tomorrow

Second round
Round of 16
U17WWC 2026

E don set ooo

AndSunGorilla:
We can't impose the pedigree of the Argentinian male team on their female teams. Infact their female football us just picking up. For a fact, Brazil and Canada gave better pedigree than Argentina in female football and Ghana drew with Brazil and whipped Canada. In summary the game us up for grabs.

But with how Argentina walloped Morocco 5-1, Ghana should be extra careful.

AndSunGorilla:
Ghana through in style, beating Canada 2.0. They managed the last minutes well. They didn't even allow Canada to get the ball and they finished off in style!!!!

Ghana plays Argentina in the next round

TheSuperNerd:
The Conclusion is what I also hope will happen. Ajax should kindly make Tolu's move permanent.

And it is not the first time and it wont be the last time that the media is used to villify a player especially in England.

Nerdie how can Chelle really use this guy in the SE because him matter don tire me. Which wing does he really play to his best?

Kanyinsola Yusuf

Wow. North Korea U17 female coach said her team couldnt match the strength of Nigeria's Flamingoes.

GOOOOAAALLAZO......

Adegbuyi

Schemerkhiz:
Queen Joseph look off form..

What's really wrong with her?

Mad ooo....

Can we just beat Puerto Rico today by the same margin?

Schemerkhiz:
🚨 BREAKING: A winner will finally be decided in the Edo Queens vs Ampem Darkoa showdown.

The WAFU-B qualifier for the #CAFWCL is set to pick up from extra time on Saturday, October 24, in Burkina Faso, with the sides locked at 2-2.

#CAFWCL

This is really not fair. A game that has already been decided being replayed. Now Kemi Adegbuyi will not be part of the squad because she is currently with the U17 Flamingoes at the U17 FIFAWWC.

Predator87:
Not true at all, Yall just like looking for excuses instead of admitting the fct that Nigerian football is a hot mess.

Fact👍

ekehopp2:
Poland almost get a second. We clear off the line, though questionable whether it had already passed the line.
But it doesn't matter as player received ball in an offside position.
Free kick to us.

Sadly 2 minutes after Poland score officially
Poland 2 - 0 Nigeria

North Korea will wipe us in the last game, so beating Puerto Rico will mostly likely not be enough to take us through in 3rd position.

Today is not a good day for our U17 teams. Na WA ooo

Other U17 FIFA WWC results

Germany 2-1 Argentina
North Korea 6-0 Puerto Rico

So the U17 Golden Eaglets will not feature in three FIFA U17 world cups; 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Napoleon55:
Nigeria is currently leading by 1 goal .

The Solonnachi guy is giving wrong information

Nigeria 1 - 0 CIV

Really?😀

oloriooko:

Prism Live on YouTube

Nigeria 0-1 CIV U17 (25')

Today both the U17 Flamingoes and Golden Eaglets are in action.

Golden Eaglets play Cote D'Ivoire - 4pm
Flamingoes play Poland - 7pm

Crucial games today.

Abdullahi Biffo may replace Abdu Maikaba as U20 Flying Eagles coach as the U20 AFCON 2027 may be expanded to include Nigeria.

TheSuperNerd:
I recall when we failed at the semis last time out and finished 3rd, I said, shouted, pleaded for early plans to be launched about getting the very best U17 lads who were still 2yrs away from 17 ready for the 2026 WafuB and subsequently the U17 Afcon in 2027. But as usual, we went to sleep and hired a man who has some qualifications but cant seem to coach a side in a game of football.

Sporting Lagos Academy coach you say?? Where is the Sporting Academy coach who won the Gothia Cup with them? Coz it is not Eboboritse

If Eboboritse is not the Sporting Lagos coach then who is he because from what I watched today, those boys don't look as if they were properly coached. It looked like they were hurriedly assembled. The Nigerian community in Burkina Faso were so disappointed this evening by their performance.

Now we have to beat Cote D'Ivoire to stand any chance of qualifying for the next round.

Niger- 4pts
Cote D'Ivoire - 1pt
Nigeria- 0pt

oloriooko:
Where can I watch pls

Watching on YouTube. The boys have been poor

Half time

TheSuperNerd:
In CECAFA's East African Zone U17 Afcon Qualifiers tournament today, Scots-Ugandan, Sebastian Fisher Quinn (16) scored a hattrick in Uganda's 8-0 win vs Burundi.

His elder bro, 18y/o Olly Quinn also features for the Ugandan U20s.

So yeah, dont feel too shocked when Uganda parades some "white boys" in their senior NT in a couple years. Lol

While WAFU A and B U17 boys are sweating it out to even score high margin goals, here in CECAFA, goals are pouring like rain and tomorrow someone will tell me we are developing in Africa.

yinkeys:
Chelle managing both u23 & Super Eagles could be worrying
Back & forth with film study, scouting, quality player selections etc
I just hope the sky scraper they’re building with faulty foundation doesn’t come crashing down at once

U23 Olympic Eagles will play DRC on the 9th and 17th November. Super Eagles play Tanzania on the 11th and 15th November. How would Chelle cope?

TheSuperNerd:
As in ehn My Good man. We all know where the football superpowers of Africa reside.

Wafu B is the strongest sub region and boasts,
Nigeria
CIV
Ghana
Burkina faso
Benin
Togo
Niger

UNAF is the next strongest with Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya.

Wafu A is 3rd strongest and have Senegal, Mali, Gambia, Guinea, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Mauritania.



The rest of the 3 are in this order:

4th strongest: Central Zone (UNIFFAC) - Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and São Tomé and Príncipe.


5th strongest/2nd Weakest: South Zone (COSAFA) - South Africa, Angola, Botswana, Comoros, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

The Weakest: Central-East Zone (CECAFA) - Burundi, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda.


Make CAF dey whine themselves.

CAF just dey deceive themselves. You can't get the best to represent the continent through such process. How do UEFA, North and South America do theirs?

Our 'National Girlfriend' and Uchenna Kanu both did it tonight

Now we await the 2nd leg, same stadium 13th October at 4pm.
