Morocco 2026: Harmony Chidi, 24 Others Get Flamingos World Cup Camp Call-Up
Nigeria’s Flamingos will begin the final stage of their preparations for the 2026 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup on Sunday, August 30, with head coach Hakeem Busari inviting Harmony Chidi and 24 Others to camp in Abuja.
The invited players are expected to report to the Serob Legacy Hotel, Wuye, Abuja, as the Flamingos step up preparations for the global tournament scheduled to hold in Morocco from October 17 to November 7.
Bayelsa Queens forward Harmony Chidi is among the notable names in the squad, with Busari expected to use the camping exercise to assess his players and shape a formidable team for the tournament.
Nigeria earned its ticket to Morocco after defeating Benin Republic home and away in the final round of the African qualifying campaign.
The Flamingos are one of the most consistent teams in FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup history. Since the competition was introduced in 2008, Nigeria has featured in every edition except the 2018 tournament in Uruguay.
With the World Cup fast approaching, Busari will be looking to build on the team’s successful qualifying campaign while identifying the players capable of delivering Nigeria’s long-awaited first title at the competition.
