In a thrilling display of resilience and skill, the Nigerian Super Falcons stamped their authority on the WAFCON 2024, clinching a spectacular victory in Rabat that will be remembered for years to come.
Former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo captured the essence of the game with a heartfelt congratulatory message that resonated deeply with every Nigerian fan.
“Someone must have gently warned Morocco,” Osinbajo began, highlighting the quiet but deadly resolve of the Nigerian team. The Super Falcons arrived on Moroccan soil with a mission: to win, no matter the noise or pressure. And that is exactly what happened on that unforgettable night of July 27, 2025.
Falling two goals behind in a roaring stadium could have shattered lesser teams. But not this Super Falcons squad. Osinbajo described their response as “vintage Naija”, undaunted and strategic.
The team recalibrated, adjusted their wings, and launched a remarkable comeback that electrified fans.
The turning point came when Okoronkwo stepped up to calmly convert a crucial penalty - her composure likened to one “solving a constitutional crisis.” Ijamilusi then brought the game level with a calm, clinical, and confident strike. But the drama was far from over, the former vice president wrote in his congratulatory message to the girls.
He said further that just as Morocco thought they had weathered the storm, Echegini delivered a masterful set piece, “as if orchestrated from the heart of Abuja itself.”
With three goals fired past their hosts, the Super Falcons not only secured the trophy but also told a story of unwavering resolve and national pride.
“We play with fire in our feet and faith in our future,” Osinbajo proudly stated, emphasizing the team’s spirit: “We may bend, but we never break.”
This epic comeback and triumph in green, white, and green has no doubt reasserted Nigeria’s status on the continental stage. It is a testament to the courage, skill, and indomitable will of the Super Falcons. And, as Osinbajo puts it unequivocally, “Naija no dey carry last.”
Congratulations to the Super Falcons - true queens of African football, he concluded.
