The
Baby Gladiators of Namibia have arrived the shores of Nigeria ahead of the FIFA
U17 World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria U17 women’s national team at the Abuja
national stadium.
The
Namibia’s 26-man delegation led by Mr. Timotheus Tjongarero, arrived in Lagos
in the early hours of Thursday and
flew to Abuja, arriving at 8am. The
delegation is accommodated at the Chida Hotel in the Federal Capital Territory.
Also on Thursday morning, match officials from
Morocco, led by Referee Lamyaa Lourarhi, arrived in Abuja. The team includes
Karima Khadiri (assistant referee 1), Zahra Jalal (assistant referee 2) and
Bouchra Karboubi (reserve referee). They are accommodated at the Transcorp
Hilton Hotel.
The
match commissioner, Florence Marie Aimee Biagui from Senegal, was also being
expected in Abuja on Thursday afternoon.
The
Flamingos, under the watchful eyes of Coach Bala Nikyu and his assistants, have
been in camp for a number of weeks, and are expected to go full throttle
against the Baby Gladiators, who reached this round after eliminating fellow
Southern Africans, Botswana.
Among
the players Bala Nikyu is working with to do Nigeria proud on Saturday are midfielders Rasheedat Ajibade
and Joy Duru, as well as Cynthia Aku and Juliet Godman.
The
return leg has been scheduled to take place at the Sam Nujoma Stadium, Windhoek
