Shortly after the team’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over South Africa, President Tinubu, in a post on his official X handle, applauded the players for their resilience, skill, and what he described as “the indomitable Nigerian spirit.”
“Congratulations to our Super Falcons! Your incredible #WAFCON2025 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative. It was a magnificent display of grit, talent, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit,” the President wrote.
“You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don’t stop until you bring the trophy home. Go for our 10th title,” he added.
The Nigerian Leader expressed confidence in the team’s ability to clinch the trophy, assuring them of Nigerians’ full support across the world.
“Nigerians worldwide are rooting for you. We are waiting to receive the cup,” he said.
The Super Falcons’ semi-final win over the Banyana Banyana of South Africa secured their place in the final, extending their dominance in the tournament and setting up a bid for a record-extending tenth WAFCON title.
Nigeria, nine-time champions, will be aiming to reclaim the continental crown after missing out in the last edition — a feat that would further cement their status as Africa’s most successful women’s football team.
President Tinubu ended his message with a personal note of encouragement:
“From your President, PBAT.”
