FIFA U-17 World Cup Finals: Nigeria- 2 Mali -0

 For the second time in the history of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, it will be an all-African affair as Nigeria and Mali battle for the top prize in Chile.


When a similar scenario played out 22 years ago in Japan, it was the Golden Eaglets team then captained by Wilson Oruma that finished victorious; beating Ghana to the trophy.

Though the pedigree of Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets speaks volume having won the tournament a record four times, the unpredictability of Mali who are the current champions of Africa suggests that a thrilling climax is on the cards at this year’s final.

Only Brazil, who won the 1997 and 1999 editions have successfully defended the U-17 title.
The current Golden Eaglets team, with over 150 million Nigerians behind them, has done it again to achieve the Brazilian feat.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Eaglets and all Nigerians
