Match Preview: Nigeria Vs Algeria - Flamingos Chase U17 World Cup Spot Against North African Foes

The road to Morocco 2025 is nearing its end, and for Nigeria's U17 girls, the Flamingos , just one final hurdle remains - Algeria .

On Saturday, 19 April, the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne will host the first leg encounter in the final round of the African qualifiers for the 2025 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup.

While it's being billed as a contest, this tie already carries the scent of a mismatch.

On paper - and indeed on grass - this is a classic David versus Goliath scenario. But the only stones Algeria will need are courage, organisation, and luck. Because Nigeria , at this level, are African royalty.

The Flamingos are the most successful African side in the history of the U17 Women's World Cup.
