Nigeria’s Flamingos Beat Venezuela to Reach U17 Semis
Nigeria’s Flamingos achieved a 1-0 victory against Venezuela on November 2, qualifying for the semi-finals of the 2026 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup. The quarter-final match was tightly contested, with Nigeria creating numerous scoring opportunities but struggling against the impressive performance of Venezuelan goalkeeper Valeria Rebanales, who made several crucial saves.
Nigeria maintained much of the attacking momentum in the first half, although midfielder Favour Nkwocha received a caution as the team sought to break the deadlock. Head Coach Hakeem Busari made a strategic substitution, bringing on Precious Oscar for Oluwakemi Adegbuyi in an effort to penetrate the Venezuelan defense.
This victory marks a significant achievement for Nigeria’s Flamingos in the tournament.
