Fabulous Flamingos demystify Brazil 3-1, reach World Cup Final for the first time


 

Fabulous Flamingos demystify Brazil 3-1, reach World Cup Final for the first time


 


After years of knocking on the door, the girls have finally broken through to the final of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, following a brilliant 3-1 victory over Brazil in the semi-final on Wednesday night at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, Pitch 3, in Rabat.


 


It was a game that started with tension. Both teams knew what was at stake - a place in the final against Japan who were already waiting. Nigeria started brightly, with Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Oluebube Umejiaku both trying their luck early, and Queen Joseph coming very close in the 21st minute, only to be denied by a big save from the Brazilian goalkeeper.


 


At half-time, despite all the chances, it was still 0-0, and the pressure kept growing on the Nigerian bench. But the second half was a different story. Just eleven minutes after the restart, Queen Joseph finally got the goal Nigeria deserved. She found the back of the net and celebrated with that famous SUIII, sending the Nigerian supporters in Rabat into wild jubilation.


 


The star of the night, no doubt, was midfielder Awawu Bashiru. In the 71st minute, she produced a beautiful finish to make it 2-0, and before Brazil could even recover, she struck again in the 80th minute to make it 3-0. Two goals in nine minutes against a Brazilian team!


 


At that point, even the Brazilian fans knew the game was gone. Nigeria had recorded 30 attempts in the game, which simply underscored how well the Flamingos dominated. Brazil managed to pull one back late through Greise Kelly in the 89th minute, but it was too little, too late.


 


The final whistle confirmed what every Nigerian had been praying for – to see the Flamingos in the World Cup final. This is history, given that the team’s best effort before now was a third-place finish in India four years ago.


 


Now, all eyes turn to the final against Japan, who eliminated defending champions North Korea after a penalty shootout in the first semi final on Wednesday.

FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup: Unstoppable Flamingos sail into semi finals, to meet Brazil


 



FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup: Unstoppable Flamingos sail into semi finals, to meet Brazil


 


Nigeria’s Flamingos booked their place in the semi-finals of this year’s FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals after securing a 1-0 victory over Venezuela on Sunday night, with Azeezatt Oduntan scoring a late penalty in the 89th minute.


 


The quarter-final contest had been closely fought, with Nigeria creating several opportunities but finding Venezuela goalkeeper Valeria Rebanales a huge stumbling block. The Flamingos enjoyed much of the attacking play in the first half, but Rebanales produced a couple of saves to keep the scores level.


 


Midfielder Favour Nkwocha was also cautioned as Nigeria continued to press for an opening goal. Head Coach Hakeem Busari made his first change of the evening, introducing Precious Oscar for Oluwakemi Adegbuyi as Nigeria looked to find a way through.


 


The deadlock remained unbroken until the 88th minute, when the referee initially awarded Nigeria a penalty before being invited to the VAR monitor to review the decision. Following the review, the penalty was upheld, and Oduntan stepped forward to convert from the spot with a minute left on the clock, giving Nigeria the breakthrough.


 


Top scorer Oluebube Umejiaku had won the penalty for the Flamingos, setting up Oduntan to deliver the decisive moment of the contest. The victory sends Nigeria into the semi-finals, where they will face Brazil, who secured a 2-1 win over China in their quarter-final encounter.

OSUN SWAN LAUDS STATE FA OVER SUCCESSFUL HOSTING OF CAF D LICENCE COACHING COURSE

 


OSUN SWAN LAUDS STATE FA OVER SUCCESSFUL HOSTING OF CAF D LICENCE COACHING COURSE


The Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Osun State Chapter, has commended the State Football Association rfor the successful hosting and conclusion of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) CAF D Licence Coaching Course at Lanreleke Sports Academy, Ileogbo, Osun State.


We see such initiative as a significant contribution to grassroots football development and a demonstration of the Osun FA’s commitment to improving the quality of coaching and nurturing young football talents in the state.


We applaud the Chairman of the Osun FA, Mayor Sola Fanawopo, for providing the platform for 40 grassroots coaches to benefit from the intensive 60-hour training programme facilitated by CAF-certified instructors led by the NFF Technical Director, Coach Augustine Eguavoen.


We note that investing in the capacity of grassroots coaches remains one of the most effective ways of building a sustainable football development structure, as coaches play critical roles in identifying talents, shaping young players’ careers and instilling discipline, professionalism and sportsmanship.


Hosting a course of this magnitude in Osun State would not only strengthen the technical capacity of participating coaches but also enhance the state’s contribution to the development of football in Nigeria.


We also commend the NFF, CAF, the instructors, Lanreleke Sports Academy and other stakeholders whose contributions ensured the successful execution of the programme.


We urge the beneficiaries to put the knowledge acquired into practice and remain committed to continuous professional development, while expressing optimism that the initiative would translate into improved coaching standards and greater opportunities for young footballers across Osun communities.


On this note we reaffirmed our commitment to supporting initiatives and partnerships that promote sports development, professionalism and the growth of football in the state.
