President Bola Tinubu has fulfilled his promise to award $100,000 to Nigeria’s Super Falcons following their historic victory at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.The President made the pledge after the team secured a record 10th continental title.

The Super Falcons staged a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat hosts Morocco 3-2 in the final. Morocco had taken a 2-0 lead in the first half, but Nigeria responded with goals from Esther Okoronkwo, Folashade Ijamilusi and substitute Jennifer Echegini.

Despite their 2024 success, the Super Falcons were unable to retain the trophy at the 2026 edition of the tournament, exiting in the quarter-finals against Cameroon. The team also failed to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
