The event took place at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa earlier Wednesday alongside a presidential reception for the silver-winning home-based Super Eagles at the African Nations Championship Cup in Morrocco and Nigeria’s first African Female Bobsleigh team to the 2018 Winter Olympics.

The cup, presently on a tour of some countries of the world, was presented to Buhari by a FIFA representative and World Cup winner at France ’98, Christian Karembeu. The United States-based team made up of Seun Adigun, Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga represented the country at the just-concluded Winter Olympics in South Korea. The President also received the national basketball teams and the all-conquering Paralympians.

While presenting the FIFA trophy to President Buhari, ex-France international, Kerembeu said the purpose of bringing the coveted cup to the country ahead of the tournament was to rekindle the passion and inspire Nigerians.

He advised the Super Eagles to be confident in their ability to enable them to bring the cup back to the country.

In his response, President Buhari thanked FIFA for choosing two cities in the country for the cup tour, he, however, did not announce any rewards for the sportsmen and women.
