President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed his congratulations to the Super Falcons

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have advanced to the finals of the 2025 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after a nail-biting 2-1 victory over South Africa. This victory was secured with a dramatic last-minute goal from substitute Michelle Alozie, following a tense match where both sides had earlier scored penalties through Rasheedat Ajibade for Nigeria and Linda Motlhalo for South Africa.

The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, took to his official social media page to express his heartfelt congratulations to the team. He applauded their determination, skill, and the spirit of never giving up, which he described as a true representation of the indomitable Nigerian spirit. His message read:

"Well deserved! Congratulations to our Super Falcons! Your incredible #WAFCON2024 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative. A magnificent display of grit, talent, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit. You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don't stop until you bring the trophy home. Go for our 10th title.

Nigerians worldwide are rooting for you. We are waiting to receive the cup. From Nigeria President, PBAT."

This victory has not only sent the team to the finals but also brought joy and a sense of national pride to the people of Nigeria. The Super Falcons are now set to face the winner of the second semi-final between Morocco and Ghana, with the opportunity to make history by securing their 10th WAFCON title.

The team's performance is a testament to their hard work, resilience, and the continuous growth of women's football in the country. The President's support and that of the entire nation serve as a reminder of the importance of sports in fostering unity and inspiring future generations of athletes.
