The Flamingos have been training in camp for the past ten days and have played two exhibition games against two of the top senior women’s club teams in Turkey, defeating Galatasaray 3-1 and falling to Fenerbahce by the same score.

 “We played two friendly games in Turkey, the first one against Galatasaray ladies.

We played with our first squad under the direction of head coach Bankole Olowookere and prevailed, but we fell short against Fenerbahce since we fielded the second team.

 “From those two games, we saw sharpness and improved tactical play from the girls and hopefully, they will be very competitive in the competition proper.

Their form and commitment are giving us the optimism that we shall excel in India.”
