Nigeria's U-17 women's national team, the Flamingos, have secured a historic place in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup final for the first time following a convincing 3-1 triumph over Brazil in their semi-final clash in Morocco.

According to a report by Channels Television on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, the Nigerian side delivered an impressive performance in the second half to overcome their South American opponents after neither team managed to score before the break.

The Flamingos eventually took the lead in the 56th minute when Queen Joseph converted a well-delivered pass from Oluwakemi Adegbuyi. Nigeria maintained their attacking momentum, with Joseph playing another important role in the 71st minute. This time, she provided the assist for Awawu Bashiru, who finished confidently to make it 2-0.

Bashiru extended Nigeria's advantage in the 80th minute, scoring her second goal of the encounter after Oluebube Umejiaku supplied the assist. Her contribution put the Flamingos firmly in control with a three-goal lead.

Brazil found a consolation goal in the 89th minute through Greise Kelly, who scored from Yasmin Queiroz's assist. Despite the late response, Nigeria held on to their advantage and secured qualification for the final.

The victory represents a major achievement for the Flamingos, as they have surpassed their previous best performance in the tournament. Nigeria had reached the semi-finals in 2022, when they eventually finished third.

The Nigerian youngsters will now prepare for a final showdown against Japan on Saturday. Japan booked their place after defeating defending champions North Korea in the other semi-final fixture.

Nigeria's campaign has been particularly impressive considering their opening 2-1 loss to Poland. They recovered by defeating Puerto Rico and North Korea before knocking out Mexico in the round of 16 and Venezuela in the quarter-finals.

The Flamingos now have the opportunity to claim Nigeria's first FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup trophy and establish another historic achievement in the country's women's football.
