Benin U-17 women's head coach, Idah Azonsou, commended her team's performance despite their 3-2 loss to Nigeria's Flamingos in the U-17 Women's World Cup Qualifiers. Azonsou emphasized that there is still a chance for a comeback in the upcoming return leg, which is set to take place at Stade de Kégué in Lomé on July 11. She noted that mistakes made by her players contributed to the defeat.

In a recent match at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup, the Flamingos faced off against the Benin Republic in Ikenne. The Amazons managed to equalize 11 minutes after the Flamingos scored, with Nazifatou Dangui successfully shooting past goalkeeper Ijirigho, following a strong play by Gandonou that exploited the Flamingos' defense.
