India 2022: Flamingos determined to put one leg in World Cup
newtelegraphng.com May 19, 2022 5:11 PM

Nigeria’s U17 girls are pumped up to do the hard work away from home by scoring as many goals as possible against hosts Ethiopia when both teams clash in a FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup final round, first leg encounter in Addis Ababa on Friday.

Fourteen goals for and none against is the tally of the Nigerian girls in this campaign, after 8-0 and 6-0 aggregate wins over DR Congo and Egypt respectively. Having won their two away games in the series, the Flamingos are determined to achieve another handsome win that will all but hand them the ticket to the finals in India in October this year.

The Nigeria delegation arrived in Addis Ababa on Wednesday night – which was at the behest of the technical crew as Ethiopia is high altitude territory. Head Coach Bankole Olowookere told thenff.com that his girls are upbeat about Friday’s encounter and will go all out for a win.

“We are confident. It is going to be a tough game no doubt, because the Ethiopians are also a good team. That’s why we have worked hard in the past weeks to perfect observed weak points. The girls know what is at stake and they will throw everything into the fray.”

Friday’s match will hold at the Abebe Bekila Stadium in Addis Ababa starting from 4pm Ethiopia time (2pm Nigeria time) and will be superintended by Namibian officials. The return leg is scheduled for the National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, June 4.

FLAMINGOS IN ADDIS ABABA:

Goalkeepers: Faith Omilana; Linda Jiwuaku, Jessica Inyiama

Defenders: Comfort Folorunsho; Tumininu Adeshina; Olamide Oyinlola; Josephine Edafe; Miracle Usani; Confidence Nwoha; Mistura Yusuf

U20 AFCON qualifier: Bosso set to name Flying Eagles final squad as team depart for Niamey
blueprint.ng Apr 25, 2022 8:45 PM

Ladan Bosso
Flying Eagles gaffer Ladan Bosso will announce his final squad for the U20 AFCON qualifying tournament in Niger Wednesday before the team travel out to Niger Republic the following day.

It will be an expanded squad of at least 28 players in keeping with Coronavirus protocols set by CAF.

The squad will be a fine mix of experienced NPFL stars and talented players from the lower leagues and academies.

Officials further told SCORENigeria that Bosso will use the final 10 days leading to the May 7 kick-off of the qualifiers to decide on his starting XI and also focus on the task ahead.



The team have so far won their first two test games and will play more such matches for the coaches to pick the final squad.

The Flying Eagles are drawn in a three-team Group B along with Ghana and Cote d’Ivoire.

A win in the first round will qualify them to the semifinals of the WAFU B qualifying series.

The two finalists of this tournament will advance to the U20 AFCON in Egypt in February.

Flamingos U17 team will face Egypt this weekend after their 4-0 first leg win in MKO Abiola stadium, Abuja

AWCON 2022 draws holds on April 29 and the tournament holds from July 2-23.

I guess the seeded teams will be Morocco, Nigeria and South Africa. The 4_semi final teams qualify for the world cup 2023

Jargozaza:
U20 Camp Update!!

- Over 40 players have been dropped from the camp due to irregularities in age & TMS.

- Majority of the affected are league players.

- Close door screening for set of players to start on Monday.
- The WAFU B Championship will start on the 7th and ends of the 20th May in Niamey.


- Nigeria are in Group B alongside Ghana and Burkina Faso,

- Two finalists from event will qualify for the U20 2023 AFCON in Egypt.

Once bitten, twice shy...Ladan Bosso is correcting his mistakes. Better he goes for players in the academics and grassroots who are hungry for success and within the age limit rather than going for overaged NPFL players who are just looking for foreign clubs to snatch them away. I believe he will get it right this time. Just that the time is short.

Jargozaza:
This team is not going anywhere

Why do you say so? Is it because of the coach, or the team. I'm happy the team is from the grassroot/academies

Oga sir leave call

Football talking is done on the pitch

Good morning chief. Let SE do the talking on the pitch.

Thanks Dr Supernerd for the juicy photos and news from camp.

Amunike is the perfect assistant to Eguavoen. See as his eyes are hovering around the players. See his technical involvement and input.

Please ooo. I hope no government official called the boys to wish them anything. Just leave them jeje. Once beaten, twice shy

jihday:
Maduka tested positive to COVID shortly before flying to Nigeria

And so many people lambasted the poor guy for failing to turn up thinking he chickened out. People should fear God ooo.

TFLASHOGEE:
it isn't only a Nigerian thing ma'am it every where some players have been shot and killed for their errors in their national teams how many have we kill here, it is what it is there is always that unfortunate moment in a footballers career people will remember him for

It's even worse in South America. Remember that Escobar of Columbia was shot 12 times for the error he committed at USA 1994 World cup.

However, that's not a reason why we should take it too far with Okoye. He is still young. Even David De Gea makes blunders for Spain and Man U, but they didn't throw him away. He is improving and I believe he will do well

safarigirl:
There are 10 people in camp

Iheanacho was the tenth person and he came in sometime around 4.

Akpeyi, Etebo and Musa are the other 3

Thank you safarigirl for the heads up.
