The General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Dr. Mohammed Sanusi has donated the sum of $1,000 to the Flying Eagles on Friday following their 2-0 win over Italy, Sportivationng.com reports.
The Ladan Bosso-led team have won their first two games at the ongoing FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina.
Sanusi presented the cash gift to the team on Friday evening after their last training session ahead of the clash against Brazil.
Emmanuel Umeh was presented with the sum of $100 for his role in the first goal against Italy.
“Gentlemen, I am here to salute you on behalf of the Nigeria Football Federation for your excellent performance against Italy on Wednesday. I am currently on my way back to Nigeria and hopefully, I will be back to be with you in the closing stages of this championship.”
“The Nigeria Football Federation under the leadership of Alhaji Ibrahim Musa Gusau is working assiduously to ensure you are given all the necessary support you require. I urge you to remain focused and be relentless against Brazil and replicate the same performance as you did against the Italians.”
Sanusi has urged the Flying Eagles to go out for victory against Brazil on Saturday.
The match is slated for 7pm Nigerian time.
