Flamingos coach Bankole Olowookere is confident that the team can shine at India's 2022 FIFA U-17 World.
The competition is set to hold from October 11 to October 30 in India.
The Flamingos are in Turkey to perfect their preparations for the competition before jetting out to India.
“We’ve also kept our fitness and fixed everything needed for the girls to be in shape for the World Cup.
"Going to Turkey, it’s good for the girls to gain exposure because it’s normal, seeing that most are from Secondary School and it’s deemed fit by the Federation that they get this exposure outside Nigeria", he said.
The former Dream Stars Ladies coach disclosed the camping is to prepare the team for the task ahead in India.
“Camping in Turkey isn’t just going to be a jamboree, we will have to acclimatize and probably have some friendly matches to tune up the team just to ensure it is nothing short of international standard.
"Moving to another place, we get good exposure that would count as experience at the World Cup,” Olowookere said.
Flamingos have been paired in Group B alongside Chile, Germany and New Zealand.
The Bankole Olowookere-led side will open their World Cup campaign against Germany on October 11.
