2024 Fifa U17 Women's World Cup: Three Flamingos players to keep an eye on

Nigeria's U17 women's team, the Flamingos, prepare to take on the world's best at the 2024 FIFA U17 Women's World Cup. 

The tournament is scheduled to hold from October 16 to November 3, 2024, in the Dominican Republic.

The Flamingos, who secured third place in the 2022 tournament in India, will seek to make history by winning the tournament for the first time.

Nigeria, placed in Group A alongside hosts Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and New Zealand, will rely on the skills and determination of their standout players.

Allnigeriasoccer.com takes a look at three Flamingos to keep an eye on:

Harmony Chidi

Imo Strikers forward Harmony Chidi has been on fire, netting 12 goals in qualifying, including at least one strike in every match and two hat-tricks. 

Her impressive form made her the top scorer across all six confederations. Chidi's ability to find the back of the net will be crucial for the Flamingos' success in the tournament.

Taiwo Adegoke

Remo Stars Ladies defender Taiwo Adegoke will marshal the Flamingos' defense line. 

A ball-playing defender with exceptional skills, Adegoke's leadership and vision will be vital in navigating the group stages. 

Her ability to organize the defense and initiate counter-attacks will make her a key player to watch.

Taiwo Afolabi

Delta Queens midfielder Taiwo Afolabi took charge of the midfield during the Flamingos' record-breaking qualifying campaign. 

Her maturity on the ball, tenacity, and control will be instrumental in imposing herself and dominating the midfield. 

Afolabi's performances will be crucial in determining Nigeria's fate in the tournament.
