No houses for Eaglets, Cash and National Honours instead

Members of world-conquering Golden Eaglets will get cash and national honours, but no houses after they made history in United Arab Emirates on Friday.

The country's U-17 team clinched a record fourth World Cup on Friday to become the most successful team in the world at this level.

The Eaglets also set a new goals record for a single tournament, while Kelechi Iheanacho and Dele Alampasu were picked as the Most Valuable Player and best goalkeeper of the tournament, respectively.

A top government source told MTNFootball.com: "They will get cash and national honours, but no houses.
"A precedence was set when the Eagles also did not get houses when they won the AFCON earlier this year. Instead, they were given plots of land on the outskirts of Abuja."
Players and officials received cash, national honours and houses in an estate in Abuja when they won the same competition six years ago.
President Goodluck Jonathan will host the team on Sunday night in Abuja.
The Eaglets arrived the country on Saturday.
