The President, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, commended the spirited performance of the team in the tournament and for maintaining its dominant posture as undisputed champions of the round-leather game and the most successful international women’s football team on the continent.

President Buhari assured the girls and their handlers that the whole nation was standing with them and would continue to cheer them on, having won the tournament twice in 2016 and 2018, under this administration.

He prayed that the Super Falcons, who had produced some of the greatest African players in the history of the women’s game, will surpass their achievement in the last Women’s World Cup in 2019, where they advanced to the Round of 16, for the first time in 15 years.

President Buhari said he looked forward to the next generation of upcoming stars, who through hard work, discipline, resilience and determination, will one day win the World Cup for Nigeria.
