Nigeria's Flamingos are world champions. The young Nigerians beat Japan 2-1 in Saturday's FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup final in Rabat, Morocco, to lift the trophy for the first time in the country's history.

Goals from Bashiru and Umejiaku sealed the victory in a final the Flamingos approached with the fearlessness that carried them through the tournament.

The triumph makes Nigeria the first African nation ever to win the U-17 Women's World Cup, writing this group of girls into the history books and announcing a golden generation for Nigerian women's football.

Attention now turns to what comes next: several of these champions are already being tipped for Super Falcons call-ups as Nigeria's senior women's game continues its rise.
