The celebration commenced with the team’s captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, bringing home the trophy after an incredible 3-2 comeback victory over Morocco on Saturday, marking the Falcons' tenacious ascent to their 10th Wafcon title. President Tinubu praised the team's perseverance, describing their victory as a "triumph of courage, determination, and consistency." The team received a heroic welcome at Abuja's airport, where they were greeted by traditional dancers, government officials, and media representatives before heading to the presidential residence.

During the celebration, each player was awarded the Officer of the Order of the Niger for their historic achievement. Ajibade shared her vision for the Super Falcons, aiming for them to become the best team in the world with continued support from both the football federation and the government.

Despite the festive atmosphere, there is a notable history of unfulfilled promises regarding bonuses and payments for Nigeria’s national teams. The government recently honored a three-decade-old pledge to provide new homes for the victorious men's team, the Super Eagles, highlighting a history of struggles surrounding financial recognition for athletes. The Super Falcons have also engaged in protests over delayed payments, particularly following their 2023 Women's World Cup performance.

As a testament to improving support, President Tinubu assured that match allowances and bonuses would be routinely approved moving forward, reflecting his commitment to equitable treatment of female athletes. Fans have recently called for the Super Falcons to receive equal pay to their male counterparts, suggesting a need for systemic change in how female athletes are valued in the country.

With the promise of rewards and the recognition of their achievements, the Super Falcons continue to inspire aspiring young female athletes across Nigeria and beyond.
