Stand –in Coach of Nigeria’s U17 girls, Bankole Olowookere has selected 18 players who will tackle their Guinean counterparts in a 2020 FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup second round qualifying fixture later this month.

Olowookere’s charges will fly to Conakry on Thursday for Saturday’s first leg encounter, which was postponed by a week as a result of the Guinean legislative election that held last Saturday.

The return leg will take place at the Agege Stadium, Lagos on Saturday, 14th March.

There are two goalkeepers, five defenders, six midfielders and five forwards on the roster.
