Flamingoes coach, Bala Nikyu, is confident Nigeria will reach at least the semifinals of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Jordan 2016.

In their last three appearances ahead of the competition in Jordan, the Nigeria U17s managed to qualify for the last eighth but could not sail through to the semifinals.

In 2010, the Flamingoes won all their group matches but suffered heartbreak in the quarterfinal, losing 6-5 to South Korea after extra time, while they crashed out of Azerbaijan 2012 after losing to France on penalties.
