Abuja residents will have the opportunity to celebrate with the Super Falcons today as the newly crowned African champions embark on a victory parade through the capital.
The Super Falcons clinched a historic and record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title on Saturday night, staging a dramatic 3–2 comeback win against hosts Morocco in the final.
The team, along with officials, is expected to arrive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by noon on Monday. According to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), preparations are in place for a trophy parade through major parts of the city in an open-roof bus.
The parade route will cover key districts including Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market, culminating in a visit to the Presidential Villa.
“We are making arrangements to have a trophy parade with the players and their coaches in an open-roof bus, passing through Airport Road, Berger junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market on the way to the Presidential Villa,”
NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, told thenff.com. “This will allow many people along the route to witness the Women’s AFCON trophy up close and celebrate this remarkable achievement.”
