Nigeria’s U17 women’s national team will, on Tuesday, October 11, take on their German counterparts in Group B’s first clash of the 2022 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup.
Despite their pedigree in the game, both teams have never won the cadet World Cup, and they will have high hopes of rewriting the record books in India.
Nigeria have a storied history at the tournament, appearing in five of the previous six editions and making it to the quarterfinals stage thrice in 2010, 2012, and 2014.
