Udoh Laments Losing World Cup Gold Medal.
“I can’t find my U-17 FIFA World Cup gold medal. My father was in charge of it. Since he passed, I have not seen the medal. It’s so bad. I am struggling to feed. I can’t even attend a coaching course as I would have liked because of lack of funds,” lamented Udoh.
