Nigeria’s U17 girls, Flamingos will have the advantage of playing their away match against their Burkinabe counterparts in a 2024 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture on a neutral ground, with the world body having insisted that the Burkinabes cannot play in Ouagadougou as their home venue is not up to standard.
The decision has seen the Burkinabes opt for the Malian capital, Bamako, where they will host the Flamingos on Saturday, 11th May starting from 4pm Mali time.
The return leg will come up at the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja on Saturday, 18th May starting from 4.30pm Nigeria time.
The Flamingos’ delegation to Bamako will depart from Abuja on Wednesday, 8th May.
