Some football enthusiasts have commended the Flamingos on their record-breaking feat at the just concluded Under-17 Women\u2019s World Cup<\/strong><\/a> in India.<\/p>\n

The Flamingos clinched bronze at the U-17 World Cup after beating Germany in the third-place playoff in India on Sunday following a 3-3 draw.<\/p>\n

Despite allowing Germany to fight back from 3-0 down, Nigeria emerged winners after a 3-2 victory in another nerve-wracking penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

A cross section of football enthusiasts who spoke to NAN on Monday said the Flamingos were indeed world breakers and have etched their names in the history of football in the country.<\/p>\n

Mouktar Mohammed, Chairman of the FCT Football Association (FA), said the victory was a great one for the country and a thing of joy and pride for all Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great result, we are all happy with the bronze medal. Big congratulations to the team, the technical crew and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cNigerian fans always expect results and when ever they get it they are elated. It excites the whole country when we do well and win laurels.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is such a great unifier for the country and it projects a positive image of our country globally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adama Idris, a former Director of marketing and sponsorship at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), on his part attributed the team\u2019s victory to the commitment of Aisha Folade, the Chairperson of the Nigerian Women Football League (NWFL),<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe victory of the Flamingos can never be taken away from the passion and commitment of Aisha Falode and the way and manner she installed the winning spirit in the girls.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot only the Flamingos, but the entire women football. I could also see the blend among members of the team including the technical crew. They were psychologically self motivated and technically fearless.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this victory, one can only hope that a special attention will be given to women football, in terms of funding for effective training, education and player motivation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Godwin Bamigboye, the Interim National Coordinator of the Association of Football Administrators in Nigeria (AFAN), said the record-breaking feat by the Flamingos would continue to be a reference point for other teams in future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Flamingos under the tutelage of Coach Bankole Olowookere are record breakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecord breakers in the sense that they were the first in that category from Africa to reach the semifinals and narrowly missed playing in the final.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have won the bronze medal is another record; the first team in that category in Africa to achieve that feat at the World Cup finals.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see that the girls have broken all sort of records which will indeed continue to be a reference point for others in the future.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo only record left to be broken now is for the girls to get to the final and win a silver or gold medal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bamigboye stressed that what the girls had achieved deserved commendation, adding that the third place match was a difficult game, especially after being pegged back having been up by as much as three goals.<\/p>\n

He praised the technical crew for a job well done and urged them to ensure that the girls were well nurtured and groomed to progress seamlessly to the the Under-20 team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought it was the end, but the Germans pulled a stunning comeback late in the second half to create tension in the camp of the Flamingos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all feared the worse and hoped it wasn\u2019t going to be another penalty shootout disappointment for Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the girls were so lucky and at the end of the day emerged victorious.<\/p>\n

\u201cKudos to the technical crew and the entire team. It is a commendable effort and they must keep it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team should progress to the Under-20 level to play for the Falconets and I believe if they stay together with that understanding, they will go places and get that result we so desire,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also commended the new NFF Board led by Ibrahim Gusau for the victory, and charged them to begin preparation for the next world cup immediately, so as to avoid a fire brigade approach and achieve more success in future outings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also want to congratulate the NFF President, Gusau for this wonderful achievement, coming just one month in office.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, what he needs to do now is to keep our teams together, longer than they need to be because what is left in our national teams now, especially the female national team is team spirit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need to stay much longer together and get used to themselves so that when they get to the world cup, they would have perfected both the technical and tactical aspect of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the antidote to poor performance and what they need to defeat other countries in the continent and at the world stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, let them stay and train hard together and as a matter of fact, the preparation for the next world cup must start immediately.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must not wait until it is just a few months away to the qualifiers, then we will start the normal fire brigade approach.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria is still the biggest and best when it comes to women football in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we recently lost our title to South Africa, but I believe if the women team prepare adequately, there is no team in Africa that can beat us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Bamigboye, a former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Coaches Association in the Federal Capital Territory, noted that the Senior National team also had the capacity to achieve great things at the world stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Super Falcons, we are waiting for them and I don\u2019t know what coach Randy Waldrum is going to offer, but right from the onset, I was opposed to getting a foreign coach for the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have the technical capacity to manage our women team. They have performed wonderfully well and I expect that having dominated football in Africa, other African countries will be hiring our coaches to train their women national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it is unfortunate that this is not the case. I think it was only during the time of Dilichukwu Onyedinma that one African country wanted the services of our coaches to help improve their football.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately she had a brief stint on the board of the NFF, but I think if she was there for a longer period, she would have made more progress in this regard.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving said that, I want to commend the person who is there now, Aisha Falode who has managed the women league in Nigeria so wonderfully well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen some efforts here and there and urge her to continue to do her best to improve the league because when it improves, football generally improves in the country and when we get to both the continental and world stage the improvement will show,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mansur Abdullahi, a former assistant coach of the Under-17, Under-20 and Women Senior National teams said the victory was a great one.<\/p>\n

He noted that the feat was the first-of-its-kind in the history of Nigerian Football since the inception of the Under-17 Women World Cup in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time we\u2019ve achieved this feat and first time to beat a highly ranked team like U.S. and Germany at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, it was quite sad again that we gave up our three goal lead late in the match. It wasn\u2019t a good one.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut congrats to coach Olowookere and his crew Adanna Nwaneri and Queendoleen Akpan for winning the bronze medal. It shows they have great qualities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlowookere is indeed a grassroot coach and it is interesting to note that 80 percent of the girls are from the Women Academy Football League in Lagos.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great achievement for Nigeria and I pray we sustain the tempo so that the next Under-20 girls will be great bunch of talent.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at their progression and barring any injury incident, I strongly believe that these girls will all graduate to play for the Falconets come 2024,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Abdullahi also congratulated the new NFF Board for the victory and urged them to sustain the tempo.<\/p>\n

He however appealed to the NFF to ensure that grassroot development of women football was taken seriously so as to aid in the discovery of more record-breakers like the Flamingos.<\/p>\n

\u201cKudos to the new NFF Board on winning their first trophy. It is a good one and I urge them to sustain the tempo for better outings ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also appeal to the NFF to look into the very important idea of having the \u2018Future Falcons\u2019 team, that is the Under-15 girls just like we have the \u2018Future Eagles\u2019, the Under-15 boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will go a long way in terms of grassroot development as well as the nurturing and discovery of more budding talents in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
