President Bola Tinubu has lauded the Super Falcons of Nigeria following their thrilling 2-1 victory over South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held in Morocco.
The hard-fought win, sealed by a dramatic late goal from defender Michelle Alozie, earned Nigeria a place in the final and a shot at securing a record-extending 10th WAFCON title.
Reacting moments after the match, President Tinubu issued a congratulatory message, describing the victory as “well deserved” and “nothing short of superlative.”
“Your incredible #WAFCON2025 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative,” the President said. “It was a magnificent display of grit, talent, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit.”
“You have made the nation proud. Keep soaring. Don’t stop until you bring the trophy home. Go for our 10th title. Nigerians worldwide are rooting for you. We are waiting to receive the cup.”
The Super Falcons will now face either hosts Morocco or arch-rivals Ghana in the final as they aim to cement their legacy as the most successful team in the competition’s history.
