Golden Eaglets' Kelechi Iheanacho won the
Golden Ball award as the best player of the 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup
having scored six goals and provided seven assists. Iheanacho scored
Nigeria’s second in the final with a calm finish before conceding the
free-kick that resulted in the third moments later. The Taye Academy
rookie also became the third Nigerian to be bestowed that honour
following in the footsteps of Phillip Osondu (Canada 1987) and Sani
Emmanuel (Nigeria 2009).
Golden Eaglet’s goalkeeper Dele Alampasu won the Golden Glove award as Nigeria took the Fair Play award.
