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.

“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 Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
