U17 Women's World Cup qualifier: Nelly Ekeh leads Nigeria squad against Guinea

Nigeria announced an 18-girl squad for the first round, first leg of the 2020 U17 Women's World Cup qualifier, with Nelly Ekeh to lead them against Guinea on Saturday.

The Flamingoes are hoping to make to the showpiece in India after missing out for the first time in the last edition held in Uruguay in 2018 and will open their qualifying campaign against the Guineans.

During their camping build-up, they played four local friendlies, recording victories in all, including Mees Palace U15 Boys [3-2], Abuja Queens [6-1], Naija Ratels 6-0 and FCT U15 Boys 3-0.
