Super Falcons Arrive In Nigeria, Set To Parade 10th WAFCON Trophy In Abuja

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have returned home after winning their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco.

The team landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja around 2:26 p.m. on a chartered flight.

To celebrate their historic victory, the players will embark on a trophy parade through major parts of the Federal Capital Territory.

According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), the parade will take place in an open-roof bus and pass through Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market, giving fans a chance to cheer on the champions and see the WAFCON trophy up close.

Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, General Secretary of the NFF, confirmed that the team will also make a stop at the Presidential Villa, where President Bola Tinubu is expected to host them later in the day.

We are making arrangements to have a trophy parade with the players and their coaches in an open-roof bus, and plying through Airport Road, Berger junction, Maitama and Wuse Market areas all the way to the Presidential Villa.

” This will afford a good number of people in those areas to have a rare sight of the Women AFCON trophy,” Sanusi said.

The Super Falcons secured their 10th WAFCON crown on Saturday night after a thrilling 3-2 win over hosts Morocco.

KanyiDaily recalls that before the match, President Bola Tinubu urged the team to bring home the historic 10th continental title.
