Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Mohammed Sanusi has lauded the Flamingos despite their quarter-final elimination at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup.
The Flamingos won all their three group stage matches.
The Bankole Olowookere side, however, fell 2-0 to USA in the quarter-final.
Sanusi said the girls need to be encouraged despite their failure to make it to the last four.
"The Nigeria Football Federation is proud of the Flamingos and the efforts they put into the competition. Two years ago, they defeated the USA on penalties at the same stage, on their way to collecting the bronze medals. That is football for you, Sanusi told thenff.com.
