Abuja, Nigeria — The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has scheduled a media parley with the victorious Flamingos for Tuesday, 10 November 2026, following the team's historic triumph at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco.
The one-hour session will give journalists an opportunity to interact with the players and hear about their experiences during the tournament, which ended with Nigeria claiming its first-ever title in the competition.
According to a statement issued by the NFF and signed by its Acting Deputy General Secretary, Dr Ademola Olajire, the media interaction will take place at Villa Park Hotel, Area 3, before Apo Bridge, Abuja.
The event is scheduled to begin at 12 noon and conclude at 1 p.m.
NFF warns journalists against lateness
The federation has emphasised that the media parley will be the only opportunity for journalists to interact with the players during this period.
It also urged media organisations and reporters to arrive on time, warning that the scheduled programme would not be extended.
The NFF statement reads:
"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.
