National Pride Rekindled by Sporting Excellence
In a moment that will be remembered for years to come, the Super Falcons of Nigeria have once again lifted the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) trophy, reaffirming their place as the undisputed queens of African football.
On behalf of the 10th Senate and the National Assembly, the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio, GCON, extends his warmest congratulations to the players, coaching staff, and the entire Nigerian Football Federation on this historic achievement.
“This victory is a testament to the unbreakable Nigerian spirit. Our women have not only brought glory to the nation, but have shown the world what determination, talent, and unity can achieve,” the Senate President remarked.
The Falcons’ journey through the tournament was marked by discipline, teamwork, and an unwavering desire to make the nation proud. From thrilling goals to gritty performances, they represented the country with grace, strength, and undeniable class. In doing so, they have written a new chapter of national pride and sporting excellence.
Beyond football, their victory carries a powerful message for young girls and women across the country—that the world is theirs to conquer, and that dreams backed by hard work can lead to greatness.
Senator Akpabio, himself a long-standing advocate of youth and women empowerment, commended the Falcons for being role models both on and off the pitch. He emphasized the importance of continued investment in women’s sports and the need to harness the unifying power of football as a national asset.
“You have not just won a trophy. You have captured the hearts of a grateful nation. Nigeria salutes your courage and celebrates your excellence. May this be the beginning of even greater victories.”
As the country basks in the joy of this accomplishment, the Senate President reaffirms the commitment of the National Assembly to policies and initiatives that promote sports development, gender inclusion, and national unity.
Congratulations, Champions. Nigeria stands tall because of you.
