Thirty years ago, on August 11, 1985, Nigeria won the U-16 FIFA World Championship hosted in China. The current Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari, governed the nation as a military head of state at that time.
However, in the early hours of this morning, Nigeria yet again lifted the trophy under the leadership of the same person.
President Buhari is now the only head of state to ‘win’ the tournament twice as the leader of Nigeria. Below is the historic picture that was taken when he hosted the team on arrival from China.
