Nigeria’s national under-17 girl’s football team, the Flamingos, must now overcome their Ethiopian counterparts to earn a ticket to this year’s FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup finals taking place in India in October. They will now meet the Ethiopians who qualified on a 3-1 aggregate, after losing 1-0 in the second leg clash in Addis Ababa on Saturday. The Ethiopians had edged Uganda on the away goal rule in the second round, with the aggregate scoreline stalemated at 3-3. The Flamingos, who have played in every edition of the FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup except one, are undefeated in this qualifying series and have yet to concede a goal. The first leg of the Nigeria/Ethiopia final round fixture will hold on May 21, with the second leg taking place two weeks later.
