Nigeria’s Under-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, have received a ₦100 million donation from the Nigerian Senate following their historic triumph at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Rabat, Morocco.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the donation during plenary on Tuesday while presiding over a motion moved by Senator Abdul Ningi to congratulate the team on their remarkable achievement.

Senators praised the young players for defeating football powerhouses, including Brazil and Japan, with Senator Adams Oshiomhole describing their victory as evidence of the talent and determination of Nigerian youths. The lawmakers also called on the Federal Government to provide adequate rewards and support for the players.

Akpabio said the donation was intended to recognise the team’s achievement and support their continued development. He also urged the Nigeria Football Federation to keep the players together and nurture them for future competitions.
