Nigeria’s Flamingos will learn their opponents in the last 16 of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup after the final Group F matches are played tonight.
Akeem Busari’s team secured second place in Group B with a 3-1 victory over defending champions North Korea in Rabat on Friday.
The result gave the Flamingos six points from their three group matches and confirmed their progress to the knockout stage. Their next opponents will be the team that finishes second in Group F.
Spain have already guaranteed their place in the last 16 after winning their opening matches against Mexico and Australia.
Mexico currently hold second position in the group after beating Chile 3-1. Chile and Australia each have one point, meaning both sides can still qualify for the knockout phase.
The outcome of the two final Group F fixtures will decide who meets Nigeria. Chile will play Spain, while Mexico will face Australia.
Mexico will qualify as runners-up if they avoid defeat against Australia. Chile or Australia could claim second place with victory, depending on the results and the final standings.
The Flamingos’ last-16 match is scheduled to take place in Sale, Morocco, on Thursday, October 29.
