Head Coach Hakeem Busari has invited 26 players to the camp of the Nigeria U17 women national team, Flamingos, as preparations commence for their participation at this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, to be staged by Morocco, 17th October – 7th November.
The Flamingos defeated their counterparts from Bénin Republic home and away in the final round of the African qualification campaign to book a ticket to the global finals.
