In a moment of national pride and celebration, Super Falcons captain Rasheedat Ajibade and vice captain Chiamaka Nnadozie led a triumphant delegation to the State Banquet Hall in Abuja, where they presented the 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) trophy to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu.
The symbolic presentation marked the team’s hard-fought victory on the continental stage and served as a powerful reminder of the growing legacy of women’s football in Nigeria. Ajibade, dressed in full national colours, beamed with pride as she handed over the gleaming trophy a symbol of unity, strength, and resilience.
The president and the First Lady warmly received the players, commending their performance, dedication, and the inspiration they continue to provide to millions of Nigerians, especially young girls aspiring to excel in sports.
The Super Falcons’ latest WAFCON triumph further cements their status as the most successful women’s football team in Africa, and the visit to the Presidential Villa was a celebration of that enduring dominance.
The event was more than ceremonial — it was a moment of deep national significance. As cheers rang through the banquet hall, the message was clear: Nigeria’s female athletes are not just champions — they are national treasures.
The reception underscores the administration’s growing focus on recognizing and elevating the achievements of women in sports — a move many believe could mark a turning point for increased investment and support in female football development across the country.
