Meanwhile, it has been discovered that some players may be invited from the lower league and championship clubs across the country as the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has disrupted football activities just like others such as economic activities globally in the past two years. This is even as the supply chain of the national women’s football teams, the U-17 (Flamingos) have not come to camp or played any competition in two years hence there are no players to graduate to U-20 women’s football team at the moment. It means that Coach Danjuma and his assistants will have a huge task to select a new generation of U-20 players who will be ready for the African qualifiers of the 2022 FIFA Women’s World Cup final in Costa Rica.
