Super Falcons: Tinubu redeems $100,000 promise for 10th WAFCON triumph

President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his $100,000 promise to the Super Falcons of Nigeria for their historic triumph at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

Tinubu made the promise to the team after they claimed the title for the 10th time at the tournament.

The Super Falcons staged a dramatic comeback to beat hosts Atlas Lionesses of Morocco 3-2 in the final.

Morocco led 2-0 in the first half, while Nigeria scored thrice after the break through Esther Okoronkwo, Folashade Ijamilusi and substitute Jennifer Echegini.

The Super Falcons, however, failed to defend their crown at the 2026 edition, losing to Cameroon in the quarter-finals.

They also failed to earn a berth at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
