Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme, the Acting General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), commended Nigeria’s U17 girls' team, the Flamingos, for their impressive 3-1 victory over two-time winners Korea DPR. This win secured their place in the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

Ikpeme also promised to attend the Round of 16 match to support the team. So far in the tournament, Nigeria has scored six goals across three matches, with Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Oluebube Umejiaku each scoring two goals.
Precious Oscar and Rodiat Kanyinsola Yusuf contributed one goal each. The upcoming match against Mexico will feature two former FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup bronze medallists.
