The Super Falcons of Nigeria have arrived in Abuja following their historic win at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The team touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport on Monday afternoon, amidst fanfare and excitement. The players and officials were welcomed warmly, marking the beginning of a celebratory day that will see them parade the trophy through key districts of the Federal Capital Territory.
The trophy parade will take the team through prominent areas of Abuja, including Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market, culminating at the Presidential Villa. The parade will feature the Super Falcons riding in an open-roof bus, with the iconic WAFCON trophy on display for onlookers. Fans are expected to turn out in large numbers to catch a glimpse of the team and celebrate their remarkable achievement.
Later today, the Super Falcons will be hosted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The meeting is a testament to the government’s appreciation for the team’s hard work and dedication. President Tinubu had earlier congratulated the team on their victory, expressing pride in their achievement and reaffirming his commitment to supporting Nigerian sports.
The Super Falcons’ latest triumph adds to their illustrious history in the competition, having previously lifted the WAFCON trophy nine times. The team’s dramatic 3-2 comeback win over host nation Morocco in the final has cemented their status as Africa’s most successful women’s team. The victory parade and meeting with President Tinubu are a fitting celebration of the team’s remarkable achievement.
The trophy parade and meeting with President Tinubu are expected to be attended by top government officials and key stakeholders in the sports sector. The event will be a celebration of the Super Falcons’ dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence. As the team basks in the glory of their record-extending 10th WAFCON title, they will undoubtedly be motivated to continue pushing the boundaries of excellence in African women’s football.
