Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, have been promised ₦100 million each if they win the country’s first-ever FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup title.
The announcement was made by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during a meeting with the players at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday.
However, the players will not have immediate access to the promised funds, as the money will be held in trust until each player turns 18.
The proposed reward is aimed at motivating the young Nigerian footballers as they pursue a historic achievement on the global stage.
