There is nothing as sweet as victory and the Golden Eaglets on Saturday night savoured their opening 6-1 win against Mexico at the 2013 UAE FIFA Under-17 World Cup by devouring plates of assorted local Nigerian dishes at their Danat Resort Hotel in Al Ain.
The local dishes were at the behest of His Excellency, Ibrahim Auwalu, Nigeria’s Ambassador to the gulf state of UAE who fulfilled the pledge he made Friday night to provide the team with their favourite Nigerian meals on each of their match days at the on-going championship.
The delicious meal was prepared and delivered by foremost Dubai-based Africana Home Restaurant and you would be forgiven to think you are at an Owambe in downtown Lagos.
“I can’t believe I’m actually eating semovita with assorted meat and it’s as if I’m at a local party back home in Nigeria,” said goalkeeper Sunday Alampasu.
“There is nothing as sweet as Nigerian food and we are looking forward to another round on Tuesday after our game against Sweden.”
Meanwhile, the Manager of Africana Home Restaurant, Dolapo Dola- Bello, said the outfit was more than pleased to be part of the Golden Eaglets’ victory party.
