Super Falcons to Parade WAFCON Trophy in Abuja Today

Abuja residents are in for a treat today as the Super Falcons, fresh off their record-breaking triumph, stage a victory parade through the city.

The Nigerian women’s national team claimed their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title on Saturday night, sealing a dramatic 3–2 comeback win against hosts Morocco in the final.

The squad and team officials are scheduled to arrive at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by noon on Monday, with celebrations set to follow shortly after.

According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), a trophy parade has been arranged to honour the champions, featuring an open-roof bus tour across the capital.

“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,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi told thenff.com.

“This will afford a good number of people in those areas to have a rare sight of the Women AFCON trophy.”

The parade will roll through key districts, giving fans a chance to celebrate the team’s historic feat and catch a glimpse of the iconic trophy. A visit to the Presidential Villa is also planned, where the team is expected to be received by President Bola Tinubu.
