The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has celebrated the Super Falcons of Nigeria after hosting the senior female national football team to a reception at the State House Abuja on Monday.
The First Lady who received some of the players, their technical team and officials of the NFF says the girls displayed dedication, resilience, team spirit with the zeal and strength that defines Nigeria.
A release signed by Busola Kukoyi, the Special Assistant (SA) Media to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and made available to Tribune Sports, Senator Tinubu paid glowing tribute to all the players saying they have represented Nigeria well on the global stage while noting that the world took notice of the dexterity of the players.
“Although the final result did not go our way, I am here to remind you that victory is not solely determined by the score on the field. The unbreakable spirit and unity that you demonstrated are true markers of success.
“You have not only represented Nigeria on the global stage but have also become role models for our youth, especially young girls who now see their aspirations mirrored in you.
“I salute you today and welcome you back home and our goodwill and best wishes go to other players who have gone back to their base. You gave your all, and we stand with you. We are so proud of you”.
President of the Nigerian Football Federation, Ibrahim Musa Gusau, in his remarks, thanked the First Lady for the warm reception and assured that the players would continue to give good and qualitative representation to the country.
The captain of the team, Onome Ebi, said the team worked very hard and tirelessly to bring home the coveted FIFA Women’s World Cup Trophy back home. She promised that the team would continue to press on relentlessly to ensure they make the country very proud on the football field.
