As the Super Falcons file out for today’s final of the 2024 Women African Cup of Nations, WAFCON, in Rabat, Morocco, President Bola Tinubu has charged the team to lift the trophy.

In a message he penned personally, the President commended the team for its fine run in the tournament and said the Nation is grateful and rooting for its triumph tonight.

Tinubu wrote: “My beloved Super Falcons, tonight, you stand at the cusp of history as you face the host nation, Morocco, in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) final at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.

“Your performance at this tournament over the past three weeks has been awe-inspiring. You have represented our country with pride, honour, and strength.

“In the pitch and off the pitch, you have demonstrated true sportsmanship.

“I was delighted to see photographs of your visit to the injured Gabriela Salgado of South Africa’s Banyana Banyana following the semi-final match. That simple act of compassion reflects our shared humanity, empathy, and sisterly affection, which we Africans hold in high regard.

“If statistics alone win matches, you are already champions. Unbeaten in the group stages, victorious in the knockout rounds, and conceding only a goal in the semi-finals. Apart from this, you have emerged triumphant in all your previous nine finals.

“On behalf of a grateful nation, we are rooting for you and praying for your resounding success tonight, as you strive to achieve the crowning accomplishment of lifting a record tenth continental title.


“I have sent a presidential delegation to attend the final in Rabat to convey the full support of the government and people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and to cheer you on to victory.

“I thank the families of the Super Falcons team, coaches, friends, the Nigerian Community in Morocco, the Nigeria Football Supporters Club and the Nigerian Mission in Morocco for their steady support throughout this competition.

“You will finish strong by the Grace of God. Go for the tenth! Bring the trophy home. Your fellow countrymen and women, young and old, are rooting for you.

“I look forward to receiving the team, the trophy, and the officials in Abuja.”

The President commended the women for showing sportsmanship, especially with their visit to the injured Banyana Banyana player, Gabriela Salgado.👍

The ladies should just give us one reason not to always doubt them all the time, atleast they should make us proud for once, and if there's anything good that you girls are bringing to table let this be it😕.

Make una sha no put unnecessary pressure on top these young ladies...!


The burden can make them desperate, which can lead to poor mistakes and decisions on the pitch.


Simply tell them to do their best, and that the nation is behind them all the way!

All the best to the Super Falcons of Nigeria . I am patiently waiting for the match to start . Luckily for me, I watched the first edition of the Wafcon live. Some of the matches was played in my city

Mission X is possible

Mission X landing tonight...let them add it to their achievements

A good encouragement coming from His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

When you have a leader who values sports, winning becomes a tradition.

God bless His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

I can bet you now that Tinubu is involved they are not bringing that trophy home

As this man don put mouth for the matter now, I hope no be bad luck be dat?

Go and sleep Mr Man. Is Wafcon now an achievement? Misplaced priority

But why is he just giving the speech?? 💁🏽‍♂️

He should have charged them with words of encouragement to bolster their morale as early as possible. 🥶Not even sure if he watched any of their matches so far, no wonder he rushed and approved all their entitlements.🤷🏻‍♂️

A beautiful trophy by the way!!!
