Nigeria’s U-17 women’s football team, the Flamingos, arrived in Casablanca, Morocco, on Wednesday for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

The team and their officials landed in Casablanca at around 11:28am, after a smooth 4-hour 20-minute flight from Abuja.

They are staying at the well-known Ibis Hotel in Casablanca.

Coach Bankole Olowookere’s team will have a light training session later this evening.

The Flamingos will also play two friendly matches — one against New Zealand on Friday, and the other against Paraguay next Tuesday.

Nigeria is in Group C along with France, Canada, and Samoa.
