WAFCON 2024: Super Falcons send message to South Africa’s Gabriela Salgado after victory

Super Falcons have sent a message to South Africa’s Gabriela Salgado following both sides’ 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, WAFCON, semi-final encounter on Tuesday evening.

Recall that Salgado sustained a serious leg injury during Nigeria’s 2-1 victory against South Africa at the Stade Larbi Zaouli.

Captain Rasheedat Ajibade and Mitchelle Alozie gave Nigeria the victory against Banyana Banyana.

However, in a post via the Super Falcons’ official X account after the game, they wished Salgado a quick recovery.

“We wish South Africa’s Gabriela Salgado a swift and full recovery,” Super Falcons tweeted after the game.

“Health comes first. Strength to you, Gabriela.”

The Super Falcons will now face Morocco in the WAFCON final this weekend.

Recall that the host nation had defeated Ghana in the other semi-final tie via a penalty shootout.

They didn't show the tackle up close but those that were proxy to it said the injury was a very serious one. Wishing her speedy recovery.

Re: WAFCON: Super Falcons Send Message To Injured South African's Gabriela Salgado by nnamdi640: 12:34pm On Jul 23, 2025
Honestly, I wonder why they covered it up and didn't allowed replay. The action of the players showed that the injury was serious, above all, I wish her quick recovery, the lady really tried for South Africa.

This is one of the hazards of the profession called "football/soccer" just like most other professions.

One is often unmindful of what many players face while on the pitch but quick to see the fame and fortune attached to this "beautiful" game.


Football is "war" by other means!


It's good to see the SFs extending a hand of fellowship and empathy to a comrade in the round leather profession.


@hotseat, joins our "Super Ladies" and all well-meaning Nigerians in wishing Gabriela Salgado a speedy recovery.


See her back soon on the pitch!


After the "war", comes the bond of humanity.



@hotseat

I watched it up close on my smart device. It was actually a fractured leg... It was very severe, surprisingly caused by our player who slipped after kicking the ball. It was totally unintentional.
