Nigeria's Under-17 women's football team, the Flamingos, are poised to embark on a journey to Bamako, Mali, ahead of their crucial FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture against Burkina Faso. Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The upcoming third-round tie, initially scheduled for Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, has been relocated to Bamako due to logistical challenges faced by the Burkina Faso Football Federation in securing a suitable venue.
The highly anticipated encounter is slated to take place at the Stade 26 March in Bamako on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the return leg of the fixture is scheduled to be held at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja on Saturday, May 18th.
