President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to welcome the victorious Super Falcons to the State House in Abuja on Monday, following their stunning comeback win against hosts Morocco in the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final.
The Falcons, who are expected to arrive in Nigeria late Sunday night, will be honoured for their heroic display that saw them rally from two goals down to defeat the Atlas Lionesses 3-2, sealing their record-extending 10th WAFCON title.
Sources within the presidency confirmed that the players and officials of the team will be handsomely rewarded during their visit to Aso Rock.
It will be recalled that President Tinubu had approved the payment of the team’s outstanding bonuses and allowances on the eve of the final, a morale booster that many believe helped spur the ladies to victory.
The nation now looks forward to an official reception worthy of Africa’s most successful women’s football team.
