Nigeria’s victorious U-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, will meet members of the media in Abuja on Tuesday, November 10, following their historic triumph at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has organised the one-hour session to give journalists an opportunity to interact with the players and hear about their experiences during the tournament.
The Flamingos arrived in Nigeria on Monday morning after defeating Japan 2-1 in Saturday’s final in Rabat, Morocco, to lift the trophy.
Their victory made Nigeria the first African country to win both the FIFA U-17 men’s and women’s World Cup titles.
According to an NFF statement signed by its Acting Deputy General Secretary, Dr Ademola Olajire, the media parley will take place at Villa Park Hotel, Area 3, before Apo Bridge, Abuja.
The session is scheduled to begin at 12 noon and end at 1 p.m.
The federation said the meeting would be the only opportunity for journalists to access the players during the period and urged media organisations to arrive on time.
The statement read:
“The media can have a sit-down session with the players of the U-17 Women’s team (the Flamingos).
“Date: Tuesday, 10th November, 2026.
“Venue: Villa Park Hotel, Area 3 before Apo Bridge.
“Time: 12 noon – Start; 1 p.m. – Finish.
“Please note: No African time, and this will be the only time the media can access the players this period.”
The NFF stressed that the session would end promptly at 1 p.m., with no extension to the scheduled time.
The parley will provide an opportunity to celebrate the young champions’ achievement and hear directly from the players about their journey to becoming world champions.
