The Flamingos departed Abuja for Bamako, Mali on Thursday ahead of their 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier against Burkina Faso.
The contingent made the trip from Abuja via a Air Cote d’Ivoire flight.
The third round first leg clash is slated for Stade 26 March, Bamako on Saturday.
The reverse fixture will hold a week later at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
The Nigerian girls have failed to appear in only one edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup (Uruguay 2018) since it was launched in New Zealand in 2008,. READ ALSO:
