Flamingos head coach Bankole Olowookere insists his side can beat Italy in their Round of 16 encounter at the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The game will hold at the Football Academy Mohamed VI, Rabat on Tuesday (today).
Italy are unbeaten so far in the competition, winning their three group games against Brazil, Morocco, and Costa Rica.
The Flamingos on the other hand managed to qualify for the Round of 16 after finishing third in Group C with just one win.
Olowookere is, however, optimistic his side can beat the Europeans.
“Nobody in football is unbeatable. Italy hasn’t lost yet, but there’s always a first time. Maybe that first time will come against Nigeria. My girls are not ready to go home; they still have something to prove. We’ll correct our early mistakes and fight to the end,” he told reporters ahead of the game.
