Portugal’s U20 boys defeated Nigeria’s U20 boys 2-0 in the final of the FIFA World Youth Championship (now FIFA U20 World Cup finals) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Portugal will be led by five-time Ballon d’Or winner and Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best footballers and good goal scorer in the world.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Super Eagles will miss the World cup after the team didn’t qualify against Ghana at the Abuja stadium.
