U-17 WWC: Olowookere proud of Flamingos’ display despite loss to USA

Flamingos head coach, Bankole Olowookere refused to blame his players following the team’s disappointing exit from the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

Olowookere’s side lost 2-0 to the USA in their quarter-final encounter on Saturday night.

Kennedy Fuller and Kimmi Ascanio scored both goals for the Americans.

The gaffer expressed satisfaction with the efforts of his players.

“I’m so proud of the girls, they’ve given it their best, come all this way and they are kids who are developing. They’ve given their best but maybe their best was not good enough,” he was quoted by FIFA.com.

“To my fellow Nigerians, we can go beyond this level and we will try and be better next time.”
