WAFCON FINAL: First Lady Oluremi Tinubu Rallies Super Falcons for Victory Against Morocco

Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has urged the Super Falcons to give their all as they face Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in the final of the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). The highly anticipated showdown will take place today at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, with the Nigerian team just one match away from clinching their 10th WAFCON title—an extension of their already unmatched record on the continent.

In a motivational video message shared via the Super Falcons’ official X account, the First Lady congratulated the team on reaching the final and praised their performance throughout the tournament. “I commend your team spirit, determination, and professionalism demonstrated in all your matches so far. You are shining examples to girls in Nigeria and Africa,” she said, adding heartfelt prayers for the team’s success in the final clash.

Senator Tinubu encouraged the team to step onto the pitch with pride and purpose, urging them to return home victorious. “Make us proud, our worthy ambassadors and champions. Nigerians and I are waiting to receive you with a trophy in your hands,” she added, highlighting the national pride riding on their shoulders as they represent the hopes of millions.

The Super Falcons have had an impressive run in the tournament, recording victories over Tunisia and Botswana in the group stage, drawing with Algeria, and then eliminating Zambia’s Copper Queens with a resounding 5-0 win in the quarterfinals. In the semi-final, they edged past South Africa’s Banyana Banyana 2-1. With 11 goals scored and only one conceded, the team is in formidable form as they aim to lift the coveted trophy once again.
