Nigeria’s U-17 team, who won the just concluded FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile, are expected to arrive Abuja on Wednesday.
The Golden Eaglets will be hosted by President Muhammadu Buhari on arrival.
Victor Osimhen and Funsho Bamgboye scored for Nigeria, as they defeated African champions Mali 2-0 in the final played early on Monday.
It is the fifth time Nigeria will win the age group competition – a new record.
The Emmanuel Amuneke-led team departed Santiago for Nigeria on Monday aboard an Emirates Airline, according to a top official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Also expecting the team is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara.
Dgara posted on his Twitter page: “You have made us proud and proved your mettle. We await your return with the trophy.”
