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.

However, those plans were disrupted by heavy rainfall in the capital city, which forced a change in logistics.
According to NFF Director of Communications, Dr. Demola Olajire, the rainy weather made the open-roof procession unsafe and impractical.
