Nigeria’s Flamingoes will begin their quest for this year’s U17 FIFA World Cup in India against Germany by 3.30pm today.
The Group B game will be played in Goa.
The other teams in this first round group are Chile and New Zealand.
This will be the first-ever meeting between both countries at this level.
The Flamingoes, who finalised their preparation for the tournament in Turkey, have been upbeat about upsetting favourites Germany today.
The team coached by Bankole Olowookere and strikers Etim Edidiong and Opeyemi Ajakaye will be the players to watch.
This will be Nigeria’s sixth appearance at the U17 World Cup.
Their best performances were achieved in 2010, 2012 and 2014 editions when they reached the quarterfinals.
Six years ago, the Flamingoes finished bottom of their group in Jordan.
