Nigeria reveals plan to immortalise Iheanacho and Ndidi’s FA Cup celebrations with Leicester City

A week ago, the Super Eagles duo played vital roles in helping the Foxes win the cup for the first time in the club's 137-year history

The National Council for Arts and Culture, an organ of the Federal Government of Nigeria, has revealed plans to immortalise the celebrations of Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi after their FA Cup triumph.

The Director of the NCAC, who doubles as the President of World Crafts Council, Otunba Segun Runsewe, said the Nigeria internationals showed patriotism after they defeated Chelsea 1-0 at Wembley Stadium last Saturday.

After Youri Tielemans’ stunning goal secured victory, Iheanacho and Ndidi went for the Nigeria flag which was wrapped around their bodies as they joined their teammates in celebration.
