Nigeria's U-17 Women’s Team Claims WAFU B Title

The Nigeria National Women's U-17 Football Team won the WAFU B under-17 women tournament, finishing with a perfect record of five wins from five matches. This achievement marked Nigeria as the first country to win all matches in the tournament's history.

The Flamingos dethroned Ghana, who finished second, having won the inaugural tournament in 2024. Harmony Chidera led the team with two penalty goals, netting the first on 15 minutes and the second on 35 minutes after Oluwakemi Adegbuyi was fouled both times.

Umejiaku Oluebube added a third goal on 67 minutes with a cross that went into the top corner, and Adegbuyi scored in the 90th minute to complete the victory. Nigeria ended the tournament with 15 points, six points ahead of Ghana, who played hosts Ivory Coast in their final match.

This victory boosts the Flamingos' confidence as they prepare for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco from October 17 to November 7.
