WAFCON: Super Falcons to hold trophy parade in Abuja

Newly crowned African champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria, will hold a trophy parade in Abuja on Monday.

Justine Madugu’s side secured a 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title on Saturday after a hard-fought 3-2 victory over the Atlas Lionesses of Morocco.

The players and their officials are scheduled to arrive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, by noon on Monday.

They will be hosted later in the day at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The team will move in an open-roof bus along major districts in Abuja, with the iconic trophy on display for onlookers.

The Super Falcons’ route will include Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market, culminating at the Presidential Villa.

Fans are expected to turn out en masse to welcome the team.

Top government officials and key stakeholders in the sports sector are also expected to be part of the reception ceremony.
