Nigeria’s Flamingos have sealed their spot in the Round of 16 at the 2025 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco after an emphatic 4-0 win over Samoa on Friday night in Rabat.

Forward Queen Joseph stole the show, scoring twice to take her tally to three goals in the tournament, while captain Shakirat Moshood confidently converted from the penalty spot to extend Nigeria’s lead.

Defender Azeezat Oduntan rounded off the victory in style with a spectacular curling strike from the wing, capping off a dominant performance from Bankole Olowookere’s side.

The Flamingos bounced back impressively after a tough start to the campaign that saw them lose 4-1 to Canada and 1-0 to France in their opening group matches.

With this result, the 2022 bronze medallists have reignited their hopes of another strong run in the competition and will now await confirmation of their next opponents in the knockout stage.

Nigeria continues its pursuit of a maiden FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup title, with renewed belief and momentum following the resounding victory.
