Flamingos to face Mexico, Chile or Australia in U-17 Women’s World Cup last 16
Nigeria’s Flamingos will learn their opponents for the last 16 of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup after the final Group F matches are played on Tuesday.
Akeem Busari’s team finished second in Group B after producing a 3-1 victory over defending champions North Korea in Rabat on Friday.
That result gave the West Africans six points from their three group matches and secured their place in the knockout stage. They will now meet the runners-up from Group F.
Spain have already guaranteed top spot in the section after beating both Mexico and Australia.
Mexico are currently second following their 3-1 win against Chile. Chile and Australia each have one point, but both remain in contention for qualification.
The final Group F fixtures will see Chile play Spain, while Mexico face Australia. Those results will decide which team finishes second and goes on to face Nigeria.
The Flamingos’ last-16 tie is scheduled to take place in Sale, Morocco, on Thursday, October 29.
