President Bola Tinubu has rewarded members of Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national football team, the Flamingos, with N100 million five-year Federal Government savings bonds each following their historic triumph at the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

The reward recognises the young footballers’ achievement in making history for Nigeria and African football after emerging champions of the global youth competition.

Each player will receive a N100 million savings bond with a five-year maturity period, providing a long-term financial benefit in recognition of their contribution to the country’s sporting success.

The Flamingos’ victory represents a major milestone in women’s football, as Nigeria became the first African country to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.

The achievement further reinforces Nigeria’s reputation for producing talented young footballers and highlights the growing impact of women’s football on the international stage.

Tinubu’s reward also places financial recognition alongside the national celebrations, with the savings bonds offering each member of the squad an investment that will mature over five years.

The presentation of the bonds gives a financial dimension to a victory that has already secured the Flamingos a place in Nigerian football history. With each player receiving a N100 million investment, Tinubu’s reward marks official recognition of a squad whose World Cup success has raised the profile of Nigeria’s next generation of female footballers.
