Flamingos Arrive in Abuja for Trophy Parade After Historic U-17 World Cup Triumph

Nigeria’s Flamingos have arrived in Abuja following their historic triumph at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.

The team, led by head coach Akeem Busari, defeated Japan 2-1 in last Saturday’s final at the Mohammed VI Football Complex, Pitch 3, in Rabat to become the first African women’s team to win the tournament.

The champions are expected to embark on a trophy parade later today, taking their celebrations to several major streets across the Federal Capital Territory.

According to local reports, the roadshow will begin around Eagle Square and the Federal Secretariat in the Central Business District before moving through Julius Berger Roundabout and Wuse Market.

The procession will then continue through Maitama, Asokoro and Apo as Nigerians join the Flamingos in celebrating their historic achievement.
