Posted : 10 November 2026

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has scheduled a media parley with the victorious Flamingos for Tuesday, November 10, in Abuja following the team's historic triumph at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

The event will allow journalists to interact with the players and hear about their experiences during the competition in Morocco, where Nigeria defeated Japan to claim their maiden title in the tournament.

According to a statement issued by the NFF and signed by its Acting Deputy General Secretary, Dr Ademola Olajire, the media session will take place at Villa Park Hotel, Area 3, before Apo Bridge, Abuja.

The parley is scheduled to begin at 12 noon and conclude at 1 p.m. The federation has emphasised that the one-hour session will be the only opportunity for journalists to access the players during the period.

The NFF also urged media organisations and reporters to arrive on time, warning that the scheduled closing time would be strictly observed.

The federation stated: "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 Flamingos returned to Nigeria on Monday morning after completing an impressive campaign in Morocco. They defeated Japan in the final to secure Nigeria's first-ever FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup title.

The victory also represented a major milestone for African football. Nigeria became the first African nation to win both the FIFA U-17 Men's World Cup and the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

The achievement has generated widespread excitement among Nigerian football supporters, with the young players receiving recognition for their performances throughout the tournament.

The media parley will provide an opportunity for the players to share their experiences, discuss the challenges they faced and reflect on the achievement of becoming world champions.

It will also give the media an opportunity to hear directly from the squad members whose performances helped Nigeria reach the summit of youth women's football.

With the NFF enforcing a strict one-hour schedule, journalists have been advised to make the necessary arrangements to attend the session promptly.
