“You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don’t stop until you bring the trophy home,” Tinubu wrote, urging the Falcons to push for a historic 10th WAFCON title.
He assured the team of unwavering support from Nigerians at home and in the diaspora, adding, “We are waiting to receive the cup.”
The Super Falcons have now advanced to the final, aiming to extend their dominance in African women’s football.
