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.
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”

Former footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović speaks on the FIFA World Cup and states which African team countries should watch out for.
During a recent interview, the former player shared that Ivory Coast should be one of the teams to look out for.
“They can be dangerous. It is a very good team. They lost against Germany, but that game could have been a draw or even a win.
“So, it’s not like they came out of the group with one loss because of a bad game against Germany. They played a good game against Germany and could easily have gotten a point against them.”
