December 11 (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Women’s National Football Team, the Super Falcons, has been named the Women’s Team of the Year at the prestigious CAF 2023 Awards. This recognition comes as a result of their outstanding performance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup earlier in the year.
The Super Falcons were impressive on the global stage, making it to the round of 16 at the tournament held in Australia and New Zealand. Their impressive run demonstrated their resilience and skill, earning them a well-deserved spot among the top women’s teams in Africa.
Nigeria’s qualification for the 2024 WAFCON, hosted by Morocco, further solidifies their dominance in women’s football on the continent. With a resounding 7-1 aggregate victory against Cape Verde, the Super Falcons secured their 13th appearance at the tournament, which has been a platform for their success since its inception in 1998.
This recognition not only celebrates the Super Falcons’ achievements but also highlights the growth and development of women’s football in Nigeria. The team’s success serves as an inspiration to young girls across the country, encouraging them to pursue their dreams in the sport.
The Super Falcons’ triumph at the CAF 2023 Awards is a testament to their hard work, dedication and talent. It should bolster Nigeria’s commitment to women’s football and encourage the team to desire to regain that recognition as a force to be reckoned with in the African football landscape.
