Nigeria U-17 Team Misses World Cup With Bizarre Record

For the first time in the history of FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, Nigeria will be not be participating as they were beaten to the ticket on Sunday by their Cameroonian counterparts.
The Flamingos dominated the first leg encounter but were unlucky not to win as they settled for a 2-2 draw and with their back already against the wall, they could only play out a 1-1 draw on Sunday in Yaounde; a development which meant they were edged out on the away goals' rule.
Before, Sunday's outcome, Nigeria has qualified for the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup.
The Flamingos were part of the inaugural party in New Zealand in 2008 and also featured at 2010 (Trinidad and Tobago), 2012 (Azerbaijan), 2014 (Costa Rica) and 2016 (Jordan) editions.
Coach Bala Nikyu coached the team at the two last editions of the FIFA World Cup.
