In a celebratory message posted on his official Facebook page on Saturday night, Governor Sanwo-Olu described the team’s performance as “a flawless 10 out of 10,” praising their skill, determination, and the pride they have brought to the nation.
“Congratulations to our incredible Super Falcons on their well-deserved WAFCON victory,” the Governor wrote.
“This win is a reminder of what can happen when talent, discipline, and belief come together. To the players, coaches, and everyone who worked behind the scenes — thank you for making the country proud once again.”
Sanwo-Olu noted that the team’s triumph serves as a powerful statement about the strength and spirit of Nigerian football, especially at a time when global attention continues to grow on women’s sports.
“You’ve shown the world the strength and spirit of Nigerian football, and I celebrate you wholeheartedly,” he added.
