Nigeria’s U17 women, who won bronze in 2022, have exited the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup following a 4-0 loss to Italy in Morocco. The defeat ended the Flamingos’ campaign, while Italy maintained a perfect record with four wins from four matches.
The Flamingos had hoped to confirm their Round of 16 appearance was no accident, but Italy’s clinical display proved decisive.
With the tournament over for Nigeria, the focus now shifts to next year’s edition. Preparations will begin immediately for the qualifying rounds, as the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup has transitioned into an annual event.
