Joel Ajayi
The House of Representatives Committee on Sports has called on Nigeria’s Super Falcons to sustain their winning momentum at the 2025 African Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON) and bring home a record-extending 10th continental title.
Following a dominant 3-0 victory over Tunisia in their Group B opener on Sunday, the Committee, through its Chairman, Honourable Kabiru Amadu, commended the team’s impressive performance and expressed confidence in their ability to go all the way.
Goals from Asisat Oshoala, Rinsola Babajide, and Chiwendu Ihezuo secured the win for Nigeria, temporarily placing them at the top of the group pending the outcome of the Algeria vs Botswana match.
In a statement released on Monday, Honourable Amadu said the victory was a strong statement of intent and should serve as a launchpad for the team’s campaign to secure a historic 10th WAFCON title—dubbed “Mission X.”
“On behalf of the House Committee on Sports, I congratulate the Super Falcons for their dominant performance against Tunisia,” Amadu said. “This win should energize the team to push forward and realize the dream of winning the African Women’s Nations Cup for the tenth time. The Federal Government, National Assembly, National Sports Commission, Nigeria Football Federation, and indeed all Nigerians are firmly behind you.”
Amadu also assured the team that all necessary support from the relevant institutions is being provided to ensure the squad is well-equipped to succeed.
“The House Committee on Sports has no doubt in your ability. You remain the best team on the continent, and we believe in your capacity to make Nigeria proud,” he added.
Chairman of the Committee, Honourable Kabiru Amadu and a member, Honourable Jonathan Gaza were at the stadium in Morocco to cheer the Super Falcons to victory.
The Super Falcons continue their Group B campaign on Thursday when they face Botswana at 8:00 p.m., before concluding the group stage against Algeria on Sunday, also at 8:00 p.m.
