The highly anticipated encounter is scheduled to kick off at 4:00 PM (WAT), with the Flamingos carrying a massive 5-0 advantage from the first leg played in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
Nigeria delivered a ruthless performance in the opening leg, with captain Harmony Chidi stealing the headlines after scoring a brilliant first-half hat-trick. Oluwakemi Adegbuyi and Mary Dunstan also found the back of the net as the Flamingos completely dominated Guinea to put one foot into the next round of the qualifiers.
Despite the heavy defeat, Guinea have not given up hope of reaching the next stage. The Guinean side arrived in Nigeria earlier this week and immediately began training ahead of the decisive clash in Ikenne. To overturn the deficit and qualify, Guinea must score at least six goals against the Flamingos — a task that appears extremely difficult against one of Africa’s strongest youth women’s teams.
The Flamingos, however, are refusing to be complacent. The Nigerian girls returned to camp in Ikenne shortly after the first-leg victory and have intensified preparations as they aim to seal qualification in front of home supporters.
Coach Bankole Olowookere’s side are expected to rely once again on the attacking brilliance of Harmony Chidi alongside the energy and pace that overwhelmed Guinea in the first encounter.
Nigeria’s dominance in women’s youth football continues to grow, and another strong performance on Sunday would move the Flamingos one step closer to securing a place at the 2026 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
Football fans across the country are expected to troop into the Remo Stars Stadium to support the young Nigerian stars as they look to finish the job in style.
