Akeem Busari urges Flamingos to win U-17 World Cup final

Akeem Busari, the head coach of Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national team, has issued a challenge to the Flamingos to complete their historic FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup campaign with a victory over Japan in the final match scheduled for Saturday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Morocco. This match marks the first time Nigeria has reached the final of the tournament, and a win would make them the first African team to claim the U-17 Women’s World Cup title.

Busari stressed the need for his players to remain focused and not become complacent after their achievement of reaching the final. He urged them to maintain the same determination that brought them this far and to finish the job against Japan, who advanced to the final after defeating North Korea in a penalty shootout.

The Flamingos aim to turn their historic qualification into a championship triumph, with Busari emphasizing that their journey will only be complete upon securing the trophy.
