Flamingos head coach Bankole Olowookere has expressed happiness, after leading the Nigerian team to third-place finish at the 2022 U-17 FIFA women’s World Cup in India.
Despite surrendering a 3-0 lead against Germany in Sunday’s third-place match, the Flamingos went on to win 3-2 on penalties.
The Germans came from behind to win 2-1 when both teams clashed in the group stage of the tournament.
It is the first time the Flamingos will finish on the podium since making their debut at the maiden edition in 2008.
And celebrating his team’s achievement, Olowookere thanked Nigerians for their support.
“We came, we saw and we achieved!
Thank you Nigerians for your endless support 🙌🏾❤️ 🙏🏼.
“Thank you God, you made this 🙏🏼. “

You came, you saw, you’ve achieved! All fine abd congratulations!Mr. Olowookere, I hope you achieve getting your salary and entitlements, including allowances and bonuses for the players paid.
I think we should commend this man for gathering this set of talented girls within a short time. The girls eventually made a podium finish contrary to what some people in certain quarters expected. The girl would probably have won the tournament if they had a better gaffer.
