The Federal Government on Monday night held a grand Presidential dinner at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja to celebrate the Super Falcons following their historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title.
The celebration, which attracted dignitaries and football fans alike, featured electrifying performances from top Nigerian music stars including Flavour, Teni, Timi Dakolo, and Fido, who thrilled the players and guests with live entertainment.
Earlier that day, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu received the Super Falcons at the Presidential Banquet Hall, where they praised the team for their outstanding performance and resilience in clinching the continental title.
In recognition of their victory, President Tinubu conferred national honours on the players and announced a cash reward of $100,000 for each squad member. He also gifted each of them a three-bedroom apartment in the Renewed Hope Estate.
Members of the technical crew were not left out, as each received $50,000 in appreciation of their contribution to the team’s success.
The Super Falcons claimed their 10th WAFCON title with a dramatic 3–2 comeback win over hosts Morocco at the Stade Olympique in Rabat on Saturday, July 26, cementing their place as the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
