Describing the performance as “nothing short of superlative,” President Tinubu praised the team’s courage, skill, and unwavering determination, calling it a “magnificent display of grit, talent, and the indomitable Nigerian spirit.”
In a statement released shortly after the match, the President wrote:
“Well deserved! Congratulations to our Super Falcons! Your incredible #WAFCON2024 semi-finals victory over South Africa today was nothing short of superlative.”
He further urged the team to remain focused and determined as they set their sights on a historic 10th WAFCON title.
