President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Nigeria’s Super Falcons after their 2-1 win against South Africa in the semi-final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The President shared his message shortly after the final whistle on his official social media page, praising the team for their determination and skill.
“Well deserved! Congratulations to our Super Falcons!
Your incredible #WAFCON2024 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative,” he wrote.
President Tinubu described the performance as “a magnificent display of grit, talent, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit.”
He added:
“You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don’t stop until you bring the trophy home. Go for our 10th title.
Nigerians worldwide are rooting for you. We are waiting to receive the cup.

Alozie the Hero as Falcons Reach the Final
The win was sealed by a last-minute goal from Michelle Alozie, after Rasheedat Ajibade and Linda Motlhalo had scored penalties for both teams earlier in the match.
The Super Falcons are now just one win away from claiming their 10th WAFCON title — a record on the continent.
They will now face the winner of the other semi-final between Morocco and Ghana.
Pride of the Nation
The President’s message echoes the feelings of many Nigerians at home and abroad, who have praised the team for their fighting spirit.
The final will be a chance for the Super Falcons to make history once again and bring the trophy home.
