President Bola Tinubu has extended best wishes to the Super Falcons as they prepare to face Australia in their second group match at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand 2023.
The President, via a statement signed by Dele Alake, noted that like other football-loving Nigerians, he takes immense pride in the Super Falcons’ impressive performance in the opening match against Canada, a formidable opponent and the reigning Olympic Champion.
President Tinubu stated that he firmly believes that the upcoming match on Thursday will be a thrilling encounter that will culminate in victory for the Nigerian team.
Acknowledging the Super Falcons’ remarkable achievements as a dominant force in women’s football in Africa, President Tinubu expressed confident that the blending of new talents with seasoned veterans will propel Nigeria’s success in women’s football to even greater heights in this tournament.
The Nigerian female team forced Canada to a 0-0 draw in their first match in Melbourne on Friday.
Prior to the match, the coach of Super Falcons and NFF tangled over the management of the team.
The president, however, assured the players and the coaching crew of the enthusiastic support of all Nigerians.
He urged the team to continue exemplifying Nigeria’s spirit of determination and excellence both on and off the pitch, serving as worthy ambassadors of the nation.
