Tinubu Celebrates Super Falcons for Beating Morocco and Winning Their 10th WAFCON Title
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the Super Falcons for their remarkable victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. In a gripping final held Saturday night in Rabat, the Nigerian team came from behind to defeat the host nation, Morocco, 3-2.
The Atlas Lionesses had taken an early lead with goals from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanna Mssoudy, but the Super Falcons showed resilience and turned the game around in the second half.
Esther Okoronkwo sparked the comeback, followed by goals from Folashade Ijamilusi and Jennifer Echegini, who came off the bench to seal the win. This marks the 10th time Nigeria has lifted the WAFCON trophy.
Reacting to the win, President Tinubu commended the team on his official X account, calling them “Superior Super Falcons” and applauding their never-give-up spirit. He noted that the players embraced the challenge and represented the country in true Nigerian fashion.
“They went, they saw, and they conquered again,” he said. Also, Super Falcons is expected to be received by the president when they return home.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
