Flamingos head coach, Bankole Olowookere, is optimistic the team will have a respectable outing at the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Chile.

The West Africans have been placed in a tough group with France, Canada and Samoa.

Despite the quality of teams in their group, Olowookere is optimistic they can go far in the competition.


This is a tournament, a competition,” Olowookere told the Super Falcons Show.

“We need to compete with others, whether they are weak or strong. That’s the only path to becoming a champion, an eventual winner. Nobody hands you a trophy without a fight.”

The Flamingos exited the competition at the quarter-final stage the last time in the Domican Republic.

They won bronze medal at the 2022 edition hosted by India.
