Flamingos Face Venezuela in Crucial World Cup Quarter-Final
Nigeria’s Flamingos take on Venezuela on Sunday, November 1, in the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Nigerian time at the Mohammed VI Football Complex.
Nigeria have won their last three matches against Puerto Rico, DPR Korea and Mexico after opening the tournament with a defeat to Poland. Venezuela, meanwhile, stunned Germany 1-0 in the Round of 16. A victory would send the Flamingos into the semi-finals for the first time since 2022 and give them a record fourth win in regular time at a single edition of the competition.
Oluebube Umejiaku, Mary Dunstan and Oluwakemi Adegbuyi will be among Nigeria’s key attacking players, while goalkeeper Jane Ijirigho could play an important role. The winner will face either China PR or Brazil in the semi-finals. Fans can check FIFA+ and DAZN’s tournament listings for streaming availability in their location.
