Nigeria vs Togo: Flamingos Final WAFU B U17 Girls Cup Match Preview, Kick-off Time & How to Watch Live

Nigeria’s Flamingos are one match away from completing a perfect campaign at the 2026 WAFU-B U17 Girls Cup as they prepare to face Togo in their final fixture in Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire.

Coach Akeem Busari’s side have won all four matches played so far, scoring 13 goals and conceding just twice. With 12 points at the top of the standings, Nigeria need only a win or a draw against Togo to secure the tournament title.

The Flamingos will be aiming to finish their campaign with a fifth consecutive victory, while also gaining further competitive experience ahead of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

Flamingos one step away from the title

Nigeria have been the most consistent side in the competition, winning all four matches and keeping their position at the top of the table.

The Flamingos began their campaign with a 5-0 victory over Niger before recording a 4-2 win against Ghana in the Jollof Derby.

They followed that with a 2-0 victory over Burkina Faso and another 2-0 win against hosts Côte d’Ivoire.

Their latest victory over Côte d’Ivoire was particularly significant, as it came against the hosts, who had scored 12 goals in their first three matches.

Nigeria have now scored 13 goals and conceded just two in four matches, giving them a goal difference of +11.

Nigeria’s results so far

  • 16 September: Nigeria 5-0 Niger

  • 18 September: Nigeria 4-2 Ghana

  • 21 September: Nigeria 2-0 Burkina Faso

  • 24 September: Côte d’Ivoire 0-2 Nigeria

Record: 4 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats Points: 12 Goals scored: 13 Goals conceded: 2 Goal difference: +11

WAFU-B U17 Girls Cup standings

The Flamingos lead the six-team competition following the withdrawal of Benin Republic, which resulted in the tournament adopting a single-league round-robin format.

Nigeria – 12 points (+11 GD)
Ghana – 9 points (+11 GD)
Côte d’Ivoire – 6 points (+7 GD)
Burkina Faso – 6 points (-4 GD)
Togo – 3 points (-4 GD)
Niger – 0 points (-21 GD)

Nigeria have a three-point advantage over Ghana, while Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso are level on six points.

A win or draw against Togo will guarantee the Flamingos the title, regardless of the other results.

Togo looking to end campaign on a high

Togo will provide the opposition in Nigeria’s final match of the tournament. The Togolese side have recorded one victory in their opening four matches, defeating Niger 4-2. They have also suffered defeats against Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Burkina Faso. Togo will be hoping to finish their campaign with a positive result, but they face a Nigerian side that has won every match so far.

For the Flamingos, the objective is clear: avoid defeat and secure the trophy.

Penalty shootout to follow final matchday games

An additional competition initiative will also be introduced on the final matchday. A penalty shootout will take place at the end of every match, regardless of the result after 90 minutes. However, only the result from regular time will count towards the competition standings.

The initiative is designed to provide the players with valuable experience in penalty shootouts as part of their development, while adding another competitive element to the final fixtures.

This means that even if Nigeria and Togo finish their match level after 90 minutes, a penalty shootout will still take place. The outcome of that shootout will not affect the league standings or Nigeria’s title chances.

Another step towards Morocco

The 2026 WAFU-B U17 Girls Cup is an important part of Nigeria’s preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco, scheduled for 17 October to 7 November 2026.

Under coach Akeem Busari, the Flamingos have used the tournament to test themselves against different opponents and build competitive experience ahead of the global competition.

Nigeria have already demonstrated their attacking strength, defensive organisation and ability to manage difficult match situations, including their 4-2 victory over Ghana after going down to 10 players.

The final match against Togo provides another opportunity to build on that progress and finish the regional tournament with a perfect record.
