The Flamingos will on Friday slug it out with the United States of America for a place in the semi-final of the ongoing FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in India at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

The nation’s women U-17 national team qualified for the quarter-finals following a 2-1 win over Chile in their third Group B encounter at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar to finish second with six points behind Germany who claimed maximum points in the group.

The game against the Americans who finished top of Group A ahead of Brazil with seven points is expected to be a stern test for the Nigerians.
