FIFA WCQ: Flamingos Walloped Namibian Queens

The Nigerian U-17 female national team AKA
flamingos has whopped the Namibian queens
in a 4-0 match encounter, in the first leg of
the ongoing FIFA women’s World
Cup qualifiers in Abuja.


Goals were scored early by the Nigerian team
while the Namibians could not pull one back
as all their efforts were wasted.
Rasheedat Ajibade, Cynthia Aku and Peace
Efih grabbed the advantage and scored goals
against the visiting team, Namibia.
The first goal was netted by Ajibade in the
13th minute while Aku scored the second in
the 37th minute. Efih made it 3-0 while
Ajibade scored her second goal and the last
of the match in the 67th minute of the
encounter.

The return leg will be played in a fortnight at
the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek,
Namibia.
The teams are playing to qualify for the FIFA
World Cup which will take place in Jordan.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari
has finally picked a date to host the
successful Golden Eaglets and Dream team
who won the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup and
the U-23 Africa Nations Cup respectively.
Speaking to reporters after the 2015 Glo-CAF
awards in Abuja, the sports minister Solomon
Dalung said the federal government has a
comprehensive package for the successful
teams led by coaches Emmanuel Amuneke
and Samson Siasia.
The minister however stopped short of
naming what reward packages are available
to the teams and their coaches.
The teams will be rewarded alongside other
athletes who made the country proud in other
sports.
