The Golden Eaglet of Nigeria on Thursday set up an all-African final with Mali after defeating Mexico 4-2 in one of the semi-final encounters of the ongoing U-17 World Cup hosted by Chile.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) represented by the General-Secretary of NFF, Mohammed Sanusi, gave a charge in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja by urging the Golden Eaglets to create record for themselves and Nigeria by winning U-17 World Cup title for the fifth time.
Mohammed Sanusi said that victory by the Eaglets in Sunday’s final of the tournament in Chile would also be a record for President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to him, Buhari will make history by receiving the trophy as a civilian president, 30 years after he received it as a military head of state, when the Eaglets won the maiden edition of the tournament in 1985 in China.
