The competition will hold in March
2014.
The Nigeria U17 women’s team,
the
Flamingoes, have been handed
relatively
tough opposition at next year’s
FIFA U-17
Women’s World Cup billed for
Costa Rica.
The draws held in the early hours
of
Wednesday, at the Antigua Aduana
in San
Jose, Costa Rica, placed Nigeria
alongside
tough female football playing
nations like
China, Mexico and Colombia who
will all
compete in Group D.
According to the pairings
released, Costa
Rica will play Venezuela in the
opening
match on March 15, 2014.
The standout section is arguably
Group B,
which pits the 2012 runners-up,
Korea DPR
– champions of the inaugural
edition in
2008 – against Germany, Ghana
and Canada.
The tournament will be played
across four
stadiums, three in San Jose and
another in
Liberia, between March 15 and
April 4 2014.
Having qualified for the finals of
the
under-17 competition effortlessly;
without
playing a single match (as
opponents
withdrew), the Nigerian girls will
hope they
can finally go beyond the quarter
final stage
which is the furthest they have
gone since
the inception of the tournament.
