In a statement issued by his Media Adviser, Ismail Mudashir, Senator Barau described the team’s 3-2 victory over Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in the final at the Rabat Olympic Stadium as a powerful display of resilience, skill, and patriotic spirit.

The win marks Nigeria’s tenth WAFCON title, reaffirming the Super Falcons’ dominance in African women’s football.

This is a proud moment for all of us.”

Senator Barau, founder of Barau Football Club—recently promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) after a stellar run in the Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 8 playoffs—commended the Super Falcons for setting a shining example.

“The players demonstrated remarkable discipline and drive throughout the tournament. Their performance will surely inspire countless young Nigerian girls to pursue their dreams,” he added.
