The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has explained why the Super Falcons were unable to hold a planned trophy parade in Abuja as originally scheduled, following their historic victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
As part of the post-tournament festivities, the NFF had announced that the team would parade the newly designed WAFCON trophy through the streets of Abuja aboard an open-roof bus, giving residents an opportunity to celebrate with the champions.
