President of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau, has tasked the U17 girls, Flamingos to go all out for victory against their New Zealand counterparts this afternoon at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in India.
Gusau while urging the team to put behind the 2-1 loss to Germany said the Flamingos must convert their chances if they want to win remaining encounters in the group phase, against New Zealand and Chile.

“I spoke to the girls after the match against Germany to cheer them up, and I have spoken to them and their officials today (yesterday) for them to appreciate the enormity of the task before them, because the NFF and indeed, all Nigerians, want them to proceed to the knock-out stages.
“They must work hard at converting their opportunities. They must play to their strengths and do the best they can to emasculate the opposition.
“A good win against New Zealand will be a great confidence-booster for the team going into the crunch encounter with Chile on Monday.”
Flamingos are third in Group B but could go to second place ahead of the final matches of the pool if they overpower New Zealand by two goals and Germany overcome Chile in the second match at the same Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
