Vice champions of the world in 2010, the Nigerian girls take a handy 6-0 advantage into Saturday’s return leg, due for the Dobsonville Stadium in Soweto – the venue where the U-20 boys of Nigeria, Flying
Eagles, won the African Youth Championship in 2011.

To this end, the Nigeria Football Association has notified the High Commission of Nigeria in South Africa about the arrival of the delegation which departed the country yesterday aboard a South African Airways.

 “I am delighted at the way you have taken the challenge of qualifying with steely resolve, and how you have not been shy to score a lot of goals in your matches. My humble self, the entire Executive Committee
and Management of NFF and indeed, the Nigeria football family are proud of you.

“My charge to you, technical crew and players, is not relent at this stage. South Africa is a major power in African women football, so do not under-rate them. Even though we have a 6-0 advantage, we must play
the return leg match as if it were the first leg,” Maigari urged.

Before leaving for South Africa, President of the Nigeria Football Association, Aminu Maigari was at the team’s camp to commend players and officials for their excellent fighting spirit since the qualifying series began as he charged them to conclude the series in emphatic fashion.
