Bantwana of South Africa head coach Ntombifuthi Khumalo is targeting a win against Nigeria in the first leg of their 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, reports Prompt News.
Khumalo’s side will host the Flamingos at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, Pretoria on Saturday.
The reverse fixture will hold at the Remo Stars Stadium, Ikenne on Saturday, March 15.
The Bantwana have qualified twice for the World Cup in the past.
The gaffer is however looking forward to taking her side to Morocco 2025.
“We want to go to the World Cup. Our plan is to make sure that after each and every 15-minute period, we introduce how we defend, so that we don’t concede,” Khumalo told safa.net.

“We will play high and attack, because at the end of the day, we can’t win the game if we don’t try to create opportunities to score.
“But the main focus is to make sure we don’t concede, and we reinforce our defense. We did most of the tactical work, and it was on how we defend, and try to press high.
“We saw them when they played in the tournament in January, how they are good when they attacked, so we were working on it. But so far, I’m happy about the girls.”
