Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has extended his heartfelt congratulations to the Super Falcons and their coach Justin Madugu following their triumph at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held in Morocco.
Nigeria’s women’s national team sealed their dominance on the continent with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over hosts Morocco at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, securing the title in spectacular fashion.
The win marked a historic milestone as the Super Falcons claimed their 10th WAFCON crown — way more than any other women’s team in Africa — further cementing their legacy as the continent’s most successful side.
“I want to congratulate the coach, it was a great tournament, I’m so proud of you and your technical staff. You deserve this trophy. I’m so happy for you and your family,” Chelle said.
