The Nigeria Football Federation,NFF, has presented Golden Eaglets’ forward, Samuel Chukwueze, with a bronze boot as the Player of the twenty-fifteen FIFA Under 17 World Cup, in Chile.
Football’s world –governing body, FIFA, admitted in November that it
made a mistake in naming Eaglets’ skipper Kelechi Nwakali as the winner
of the bronze boot, and decided to send another one to the actual
winner, Chukwueze, while telling Nwakali to keep his.
NFF Executive Committee member, Alh. Ibrahim Musa Gusau and General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi presented Chukwueze with his prize, congratulating him for a great outing in Chile.
FIFA had explained that although Nwakali and Chukwueze finished the tournament with the same number of goals (three) and assists to be joint third best scorer, Chukwueze played less number of minutes in the tournament and therefore, is the winner.
Nwakali was selected as the Player of the Tournament.
