Tinubu Expresses Gratitude to Victorious Team

From the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Nigeria’s Super Falcons received a grand gesture of recognition and reward following their historic victory at the Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held in Rabat, Morocco.

The Super Falcons staged a dramatic comeback in the final match, overturning a 0-2 first-half deficit to defeat hosts Morocco with three second-half goals—clinching their 10th WAFCON title in spectacular fashion.
