Nigeria’s senior women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, received a hero’s welcome today as they returned to the country following their impressive performance at the recently concluded WAFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco.
Hundreds of fans, officials, and well-wishers were on standby to cheer the team as they arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
The Super Falcons were accompanied by a convoy of security vehicles, cultural dancers and enthusiastic supporters waving flags and singing praise songs.
