Olowookere Backs Flamingos Ahead of Dominican Republic Tournament
Nigeria's U-20 Women's National Team, the Flamingos, are gearing up for the upcoming CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship in the Dominican Republic, and head coach Christopher Danjuma Olowookere is confident in his team's ability to perform well.
Olowookere, who took the reins of the Flamingos earlier this year, has been working tirelessly with the team in preparation for the tournament. The team has been involved in a series of intensive training sessions and friendly matches, aiming to refine their tactics and build team cohesion.
“The girls are in good spirits, and they're ready to give their best,” Olowookere told the media. “We've had a good training camp, and we've been working on all aspects of our game. We're ready to go out there and compete at the highest level.”
The Flamingos are drawn in Group B alongside Costa Rica, Haiti, and Puerto Rico. Olowookere understands the importance of the tournament, acknowledging that it serves as a qualifier for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
“We know what's at stake,” said Olowookere. "Our aim is to qualify for the World Cup, and we're confident we have the quality to do that. We're going to play with heart, passion, and determination."
With the tournament fast approaching, Olowookere and his team are eager to make their mark on the international stage. The Flamingos are a force to be reckoned with, and they'll be looking to fly high in the Dominican Republic. Their performance will undoubtedly be followed closely by Nigerian football fans back home.
