Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, suffered a second consecutive defeat, losing 0-1 to France at the 2025 FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco Wednesday night, October 22, 2025.

In the game, both teams created few chances in the first 45 minutes, defending robustly, with Nigeria making four attempts at goal, more than the French side, who had three of their shots wide off the target.

The Flamingos’ best chance came in the 50th minute of the game when Queen Joseph’s delivery from a corner kick fell into the path of Nwachukwu, whose close-range left-footed shot was again foiled by goalkeeper Lauryne.

The defeat leaves Nigeria with zero points from two games.

The team will play Samoa Island in the last group game of the campaign on Saturday, October 25,2025 .
