Olowookere urges Flamingos to stay focused despite convincing win

Published on: 10 March 2025

Nigeria's under-17 women's team, the Flamingos, head coach Bankole Olowookere has warned his team not to get complacent despite their 3-1 win over South Africa in the first leg of their qualifying tie, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

The Flamingos took a significant step towards securing a spot in the final qualifying round with a convincing victory at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday.

However, Olowookere expects a tougher challenge from the Bantwana in the second leg, scheduled at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne next Saturday.

"We had a good result, but we need to improve on a few things for the next game, as I know South Africa is also going to improve," Olowookere said.
