Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has extended heartfelt congratulations to Nigeria’s senior women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, following their historic 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title win in Rabat, Morocco.

The resilient Nigerian side pulled off a stunning comeback on Sunday night, overturning a two-goal deficit to defeat hosts Morocco in a dramatic final before a raucous home crowd. Goals from Esther Okoronkwo, Folashade Ijamilusi, and Jennifer Echegini sealed a 3-2 victory, earning the Super Falcons their record-extending 10th continental crown.

Reacting to the team’s heroic performance, Governor Mbah, in a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle, @PNMbah, described the victory as a powerful testament to the enduring strength and unity of the Nigerian spirit.

“Congratulations, Super Falcons, on your well-deserved WAFCON 2025 triumph,” Mbah wrote. “Coming from two goals down to beat the Moroccans to the trophy underscores the resilience and invincibility of the Nigerian spirit and what we can achieve as a people by working together in oneness of mind.

“We are super proud of you. Again, congratulations, girls, and keep flying higher.”

The Governor’s message aligns with the outpouring of national pride and celebration across the country, as the Super Falcons continue to set the pace in African women’s football. Their victory not only reaffirmed Nigeria’s dominance on the continental stage but also inspired millions with a message of perseverance, unity, and belief.

This latest triumph cements the Super Falcons’ status as Africa’s most successful women’s football team, and a shining symbol of national excellence and determination.
