WAFCON: Reps back Super Falcons 10th title bid

The House of Representatives Committee on Sports has charged the senior female national football team, the Super Falcons, to sustain their winning momentum at the 2025 African Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and bring home a record-extending 10th continental title.

The Committee, through its chairman, Honourable Kabiru Amadu, commended the team’s impressive performance and expressed confidence in their ability to go all the way after a dominant 3-0 victory over Tunisia in their Group B opener on Sunday.

Sporting Tribune recalls that goals from Asisat Oshoala, Rinsola Babajide, and Chiwendu Ihezuo secured the win for the Falcons, placing them at the top of the group.

Amadu, in a statement released on Monday, described the victory as a strong statement of intent and should serve as a launchpad for the team’s campaign to secure a historic 10th WAFCON title dubbed “Mission X.”

“On behalf of the House Committee on Sports, I congratulate the Super Falcons for their dominant performance against Tunisia. This win should energise the team to push forward and realise the dream of winning the African Women’s Nations Cup for the tenth time.

“The Federal Government, National Assembly, National Sports Commission, Nigeria Football Federation, and indeed all Nigerians are firmly behind you,” the statement read.

Amadu also assured the team that all necessary support from the relevant institutions is being provided to ensure the squad is well-equipped to succeed.

“The House Committee on Sports has no doubt in your ability. You remain the best team on the continent, and we believe in your capacity to make Nigeria proud,” he added.

The Falcons’ next game is against Botswana on Thursday by 8 pm and will round off their last group game against Algeria on Sunday at the same time.
