Flamingos Return to Abuja as Trophy Parade Takes Over FCT

Nigeria’s Flamingos have arrived in Abuja after winning the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. They beat Japan 2–1 in Saturday’s final in Rabat, Morocco, to claim the title. The team landed at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport at 5:50 a.m. on Monday after flying from Rabat. A trophy parade is planned for later in the day, starting near Eagle Square and the Federal Secretariat before passing through Wuse, Maitama, Asokoro and Apo. A formal reception for the champions will be held at a later date because of President Bola Tinubu’s schedule. The report says he is engaged in campaign activities ahead of next year’s presidential election.
