In a dramatic turn of events at the ongoing FIFA U15 Festival, the Future Eagles, Nigeria’s under-15 national football team, have tasted defeat for the first time. On Friday, October 29, they faced off against Benin and succumbed to a 2-1 loss, ending their impressive unbeaten run. The game, which took place in the vibrant city of Benin City, saw the hosts put up a strong performance, capitalizing on the Eagles’ early complacency to take a commanding 2-0 lead. Although Nigeria managed to pull one back late in the game, it was not enough to salvage a draw. The loss not only marks a significant milestone for Benin’s football development but also serves as a wake-up call for the Future Eagles, who will be looking to regroup and bounce back in their remaining matches. According to the Voice of Nigeria, this is the first time the Future Eagles have lost a game since their inception, making this defeat all the more surprising.
