Nigeria will return to action in FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup with a quarter-final fixture against The USA, Saturday night.

The Flamingos are one of only 3 teams to top their group with 9 points. The girls won their three group stage matches scoring 9 goals and conceding just one.

vs New Zealand (4-1)
vs Ecuador (4-0)
vs Dominican Republic (1-0)

The quarter-final clash between Nigeria and The USA will take place at the Cibao Stadium in Santiago, at 8:30pm Nigerian time.

A win for the Flamingos will mean a repeat of history, as they reached the same stage two years ago in India.

The team eventually finished third; their best ever performance in the competition.
