Flamingos head coach Bankole Olowookere says his team will go all out for maximum points against New Zealand.
The Nigerian girls will open their campaign at the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup against the Young Football Ferns at the CFC Stadium in Santiago de los Caballeros on Wednesday (today).
The game will kick-off at 9pm Nigeria time.
“I have confidence in the girls to deliver the goods at this competition. We have come well-prepared to do even better than we did in India,” Olowookere told thenff.com.
“The Nigeria Football Federation have done everything to prepare the team well, with a two-week final camping here in Dominican Republic.
“We do not under-rate any of our opponents. However, we will take it one match at a time and produce our best in each game in order to go all the way.”
After the encounter with New Zealand, the Flamingos will confront their counterparts from Ecuador, also at the CFC Stadium in Santiago de los Caballeros, before their final group phase game against the host nation at the Felix Sanchez Stadium in Santo Domingo.
The clash with Ecuador is on Saturday, 19th October while the battle with the host nation is on Tuesday, 22nd October.
