Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has extended his warmest congratulations to the Super Falcons on their thrilling victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Falcons staged an extraordinary comeback in the second half to beat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final match.
Trailing 2-0 at half-time in front of a partisan Moroccan crowd, the Super Falcons showed their pedigree and resilience, clawing their way back into the match with a display of clinical finishing and sheer determination.
Goals from Esther Okoronkwo, Folashade Ijamilusi, and a late winner by Jennifer Echegini overturned Morocco’s strong first-half lead, stunning the Atlas Lionesses who were hoping to clinch their first-ever continental title on home soil.
President Tinubu declared: “The Super Falcons’ spectacular performance tonight in Rabat, coming from behind to beat a spirited Moroccan side playing in front of a passionate home crowd, exemplifies the determination that defines the Nigerian spirit.
With hard work, dedication, and tenacity, you have achieved the mission the nation dreamed of and prayed for.
The nation looks forward to welcoming our champions.
Congratulations! Nigeria celebrates you.”
