Victorious members of the Super Falcons of Nigeria are due in Abuja the capital of Nigeria this afternoon to be received by the President of the nation, Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The victorious contingent is scheduled to touch down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by noon today less than two days after winning their 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and the Nigeria Football Federation is making arrangements to have the team move to the Presidential Villa in an open-roof bus along populated districts, with the iconic trophy in view for onlookers.
“We are making arrangements to have a trophy parade with the players and their coaches in an open-roof bus, and plying through Airport Road, Berger junction, Maitama and Wuse Market areas all the way to the Presidential Villa.
“This will afford a good number of people in those areas to have a rare sight of the Women AFCON trophy,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said yesterday.
The Super Falcons accomplished a record-extending 10th Women AFCON title triumph on Saturday night, with a come-from-behind 3-2 defeat of hosts Morocco at Rabat’s Stade Olympique.
Nigeria’s number one citizen, His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is scheduled to host the team at the Presidential Villa this afternoon.
