Fifa Admits Bronze Boot Error, Chukwueze Not Nwakali Winner by Proffdada: 5:51pm On Dec 01, 2015 |
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. http://m.goal.com/x/en-ng/news/14952/fifa-u17-world-cup/2015/12/01/17909352/fifa-admits-bronze-boot-error-chukwueze-not-nwakali-winner Cc: lalasticlala ishilove obinoscopy 6 Likes 2 Shares

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? 7 Likes 2 Shares |
