The Nigerian Senate has donated ₦100 million to the Flamingos following their historic victory at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
The donation was announced by Senate President Godswill Akpabio during plenary on Tuesday, following a motion moved by Senator Abdul Ningi to recognise and reward the team’s achievement.
The lawmakers also urged the Federal Government and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to provide further support for the players and nurture their talents.
The Flamingos defeated Japan 2–1 in the final to become the first African nation to win the competition.
