The journey for the Lone Star Females Under-17 National Team to the 2024 FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup has come to an end following a back-to-back defeat in the hands of the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

Liberia's Under-17 females were eliminated in the final round qualifiers this Friday (June 14) after bowing down to a 2-0 defeat in the returned leg with Nigeria.

The Red, White, and Blue girls were earlier defeated 4-1 on home soil in the first leg before succumbing to another defeat in the final qualifying round of the FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup qualifiers.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria led Liberia 1-0 at the first half in the return leg on Friday before returning from the break to double the score line 2-0 to end the full-time in Abuja, Nigeria.

The Nigerians were left in joy after the match that rendered them qualification to the 2024 FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup with a 6-1 goal aggregate over Liberia from legs.

The back-to-back defeat of Lone Star U-17 females has a shocking wave to many compassionate sports lovers who had thought that the team could have readjusted and worked on her lapses from the first leg to manage a win away.

Nigeria will join the winners from Zambia VS Morocco and Kenya VS Burundi from their head-to-head final qualifiers to represent Africa at the 2024 FIFA Women's Under-17 World Cup slated for 16th October to 3rd November this year in Dominican Republic.
