By Dayo Awoniyi

The South Africa Football Association (SAFA) has announced that fans will be granted free entry for Saturday’s 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifier between Bantwana and Nigeria’s Flamingos, which will be held at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Pretoria.

SAFA is encouraging supporters to fill the stands and show their unwavering support for the South African team, who are looking to continue their impressive form after a dominant 21-2 aggregate win over Gabon in the previous round.

The upcoming match against the Flamingos, who clinched the bronze medal at the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, is expected to be a thrilling encounter.

The reverse fixture is scheduled for March 15 at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne, Nigeria.

The Cosafa team that prevails on aggregate will advance to the third round of the qualification campaign.
