16 year old LASUite, Esther stephen, helps Nigeria secure victory at the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup by providing the assist that gave Nigeria the winning goal against Japan.
Esther is a Diploma student from the department of Human Kinetics in Lagos State University, and on the 7th of November 2026 she played in the U-17 Flamingo Team that won the recently concluded FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

To bring the cup home, Esther was the one who gave the assist that secured Nigeria the winning goal that ultimately led to Nigeria's victory.

The final match was held in Rabat, Morocco, and the achievement has drawn a reward of 100 million Naira from President Tinubu and the Nigerian Senate. The university Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ayodeji Badejo, also congratulated the Flamingo Team and Esther for making Nigeria and the University proud. 

LASU Life and the entire Lagos State University Community celebrate this outstanding achievement. We are LASU, We are Great!
