Describing the team’s performance as a dazzling display of brilliance, courage, and unity, the minister, through her Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Jonathan Eze, praised the Super Falcons for their resilience, strategic prowess, and unbreakable team spirit, qualities she said continue to define Nigerian women both on and off the field.

She said, “Our Super Falcons soared above the storm with hearts of fire and feet that danced the rhythm of victory.

“This win is not just a scoreboard triumph but a powerful testament to the undaunted, unstoppable, and united spirit of Nigerian women.”

She emphasised that the victory was more than just a football achievement, calling it a beacon of the strength and growing global presence of Nigerian women in sports.

“You have made the nation proud,” she stated, urging the team to carry their momentum forward and bring home the trophy.

She encouraged the players to continue striving for greatness. “Soar now, daughters of destiny, toward gold and glory. Nigeria watches, breathes, and believes in you. The crown is yours to seize; go, Champions, go!”

The Super Falcons’ victory has once again underlined their status as the queens of African football and a powerful symbol of Nigerian excellence on the continental stage.
