Proffdada:
The world football governing body has express regret in naming Nwakali as bronze boot winner instead of ChukwuezeThe Federation of International Football Association (Fifa) has admitted they made a mistake giving Kelechi Nwakali the 2015 U17 World Cup bronze boot instead of Samuel Chukwueze.
Chukwueze (535 minutes) and Nwakali (630 minutes) were tied on three goals and three assists but the later was awarded as third highest goal scorer prize despite having more playing time than his teammate.

“We made a mistake at the closing ceremony of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile 2015 with the distribution of the adidas Bronze Boot,” Fifa wrote to the NFF.

“Instead of player no. 8 of Nigeria, Samuel Chukwueze, the player Kelechi Nwakali (player no. 10 of Nigeria) received the adidas Bronze Boot. However, if two or more players are still equal (after goals and assists), the player who has played fewer number of minutes will be ranked first.

“With this in mind, adidas will send you another Bronze Boot in December 2015, which we would kindly ask you to hand over to Samuel Chukwueze. Please be informed that Kelechi Nwakali may keep his trophy.”

Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen won the golden boot award with 10 goals while Germany’s Johannes Eggestein walked away with the silver boot having scored four goals.

In spite of the error they made, we still have to commend FIFA for correcting the mistake. It happens sometimes like the CHANGE we have!

Hmm FIFA should first of all go and solve their corruption cases before coming here to say nonsense that's the same that happened in world cup they said messi is not meant to be awarded the goldenball. So the question is whether they are going to take the award from nwakali?
Read the post again. The letter said Nwakali should keep his trophy. Na so Una dry take fail exams.

I don't like this. After all the accolades and papparazzi shown to Nwakali who was not worth it, you now give it to someone worth it. It could have been the yardstick which Nwakali got to Europe which ought to have been Chukwueze

they won't collect the award from nwakali but they have promise NFF that this month they will send another addidas silver boot that they should giv it to Samuel...

Fifa may have done well by correcting their mistake but can the feelings be the same? getting the trophy on the final day and getting it now. Especially pictures and videos that would remain in circulation till eternity. It's just unfortunate.
