Popular Nigerian streamer and content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, has thrown his support behind Nigeria’s U-17 women’s national team, the Flamingos, after the players pledged to bring home the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy.
Peller demonstrated his support during a livestream, where he reportedly sent seven high-value TikTok Universe gifts to the young footballers following their confident declaration that they would win the competition.
The gesture generated excitement among those watching the livestream, with gift notifications triggering celebrations and drawing attention to the content creator’s show of support for the Nigerian team.
Peller’s intervention comes as the Flamingos prepare for a historic appearance in the final of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco.
Nigeria secured their first-ever place in the final after producing an impressive 3-1 victory over Brazil in the semi-final on November 4, 2026, strengthening their hopes of claiming the country’s first title in the competition.
The Flamingos will face Japan in Saturday’s final, November 7, with the opportunity to become the first African nation to win the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup.
The Japanese side stand between Nigeria and a historic triumph, but the Flamingos will head into the encounter with growing confidence following their impressive run to the final.
Peller’s gesture adds another layer of excitement to the growing national support for the team, as Nigerians rally behind the young players ahead of their biggest match of the tournament.
Victory over Japan would not only deliver Nigeria’s first U-17 women’s World Cup title but also mark a landmark achievement for African women’s football.
