The encounter is part of the team’s deliberate efforts to sharpen tactics, build match fitness, and fine-tune combinations ahead of the upcoming FIFA Under 17 Women's World Cup qualifiers against Guinea next month.

So far, the Flamingos have shown impressive form in their preparatory fixtures, recording emphatic victories in their first two outings. They cruised to a 6–0 win over Generation Next before following it up with a commanding 7–0 triumph against Nazareth Queens, underlining their attacking strength and defensive solidity.
