Nigeria’s Flamingos have received a cash reward of $50,000 following their historic victory at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

The reward was presented to the team on Saturday night by Alhaji Saleh Ahmadu, a sponsor of the National Sports Commission (NSC), during a special reception organised in their honour.

The event attracted several top dignitaries, including NSC Chairman Mallam Shehu Dikko, Director-General Bukola Olopade and Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi.
