Stop there…Two Guinean players trying to stop Flamingos Goalpoacher Yemisi Samuel (M) last weekend in Lagos. Nigeria won 5-1.
Nigeria’s U-17 women’s football team, Flamingos have embarked on two weeks break after eliminating the hapless Guinea Syli Starlets from the FIFA U-17 World Cup African qualifiers in Lagos at the weekend on a 11-2 goals aggregate score.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) had asked the players and officials of the Flamingos on Sunday to proceed on a two weeks break before returning to Abuja camp next month ahead of May 1 to 3 first leg final round of the African qualifiers against arch-rival, Ghana Black Maidens in Accra.
Flamingos Acting Head Coach, Olowookere Bankole confirmed that the players and officials have since embarked on a break, adding that the NFF will inform them when to return to camp as that will depend on whether the novel Coronavirus pandemic will allow sporting activities to continue.
“We have told to embark on two weeks break, to resume on first week in April but this will depend on information on the Coronavirus”, Bankole revealed.
It be recalled that CAF has cancelled some of its football programmes like AFCON 2020 qualifiers citing Coronavirus pandemic.
