It was jubilation and pride in the air as the Federal Government officially welcomed Nigeria’s Super Falcons back to Abuja following their triumphant victory at the 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, Morocco.
The Falcons, who have once again stamped Nigeria’s name in gold on the continental stage, were hailed as true heroines for their brilliance, teamwork, and unyielding spirit.
In a statement, the Honourable Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, praised the team on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the entire Federal Government, describing their win as “more than a sporting achievement – a stirring testament to the indomitable Nigerian spirit.”
“Our national heroines have brought immense joy to millions of Nigerians. Their discipline, resilience, and unity are an inspiration to the entire nation,” the Minister stated.
The Super Falcons received a hero’s welcome as they landed in Abuja, with a grand procession from the Abuja City Gate through Eagle Square to the Presidential Villa, where they were officially received.
The Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to investing in sports and supporting Nigerian athletes to continue flying the nation’s flag high.
“Welcome home, champions of Africa,” he said. “You have made us proud.”
