The Super Falcons have been celebrated by Kogi State Governor Alhaji Yahaya Bello for their tremendous effort at the 2023 World Cup. Nigeria were beaten in the penalty shoot out by England following a vigorous 120 goalless draw.
The Governor who encouraged the girls urged them to keep attempting until they get to the climax some day.
“Be strong when you are weak, brave when you are panicked, and unassuming when you are triumphant.
Hearty congratulations to our incredible Super Falcons – Nigeria for an outstanding performance in the #fifawomensworldcup
Your unwavering dedication, teamwork, and relentless pursuits of excellence, demonstrates the true spirit of our nation Nigeria.
Keep attempting to accomplish the outlandish! Best of luck for success in the days ahead.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
