Nigeria's Under-20 female national team has booked a place in the group stage of the African qualifiers for Chile 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup following the withdrawal of their opponents, Congo from the race.
Nigeria Football Association (NFA) was informed of Congo's withdrawal by Confederation of African Football (CAF) last Monday and the message has also been communicated to the players.
The Nigerian side tutored by Coach Daniel Evumena, who were earlier scheduled to play the first leg of their preliminary round on January 12 at the Abuja National Stadium will now wait for the winner between Cameroon and Benin Republic for the group stage, which begins in April.
Sequel to this, Sports Champion gathered that the NFA are contemplating a move to end the camp exercise, to enable the girls return home after being denied the chance of a holiday for the Salah, Christmas and New Year festivities.
Meanwhile, the first leg of the U-17 African qualifiers between the Flamingoes and their Guinean counterparts will still hold this weekend at Abuja National Stadium, after an unsuccessful attempt to stage it at Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.
The Nigerian female team has been moved to a posh hotel in Abuja ahead of the arrival of the Guinean delegation of 25 players and some accompanying officials.
