Former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, has sent his good wishes to the Super Falcons of Nigeria as they gear up to field against Morocco in the final of the Women’s Africa Cup Of Nations (WAFCON).
Obi prayed, “go forth and conquer Super Falcons.”
To reach the final of the tournament, in the semi finals, Nigeria saw off South Africa 2-1 while Morocco defeated Ghana 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 full time draw.
The “fearless” Super Falcons, who are the most decorated Women’s Football team on the continent, have clinched the WAFCON a record nine (9) times, and will definitely be eyeing their tenth on Saturday night.
Obi said, the Super Falcons “carry the hopes, dreams, and pride of an entire nation”, adding, “you are not alone as you step onto the pitch tonight in Morocco”.
Nigeria and Morocco will slug it out in the WAFCON final on Saturday 26 July, 2025 at Stade Olympique in Rabat at 21:00 (WAT).
Obi wrote on X: “To Our Fearless Super Falcons,
“You have carried the hopes, dreams, and pride of an entire nation with extraordinary courage and excellence throughout the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
“You are more than just a football team – you are the pride of Africa and the heartbeat of Nigeria. You represent the spirit of resilience, unity, and what it truly means to never back down.
“As you step onto the pitch tonight in Morocco, know that you are not alone. You carry with you the dreams of millions, the strength of a people, and the indomitable Naija spirit.
“We stand with you – united, unwavering, and proud.
“Go forth and conquer, Super Falcons.
“Bring the trophy home!”
HC: Good luck Super Falcons!!!
