Head Coach of the Flamingos, Bankole Olowookere has apologized to Nigerians following the team’s outster from the ongoing FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup.
2022 bronze medallists Nigeria were eliminated from the ongoing FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup after a 4-0 defeat by Italy, who took their tournament tally to four wins in as many matches.
The defeat ended Nigeria’s interest in the ongoing championship in Morocco, but the Flamingos must immediately commence preparations for the qualifying series for next year’s edition of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup finals, which is now an annual event.
According to him, “First of all, I want to apologise to our fans all over the world. We’re sorry it had to end this way.
There are lessons to learn and positives to take home. I’m proud of the girls because they gave their best.”
