Super Falcons win CAF Awards
The anticipated CAF Awards gala night is tonight, and one of the most coveted prizes at the events is the team awards.
The Super Falcons were announced as winners of the Women's Team of the Year, picking up the prize for the second consecutive year, and the sixth time since inception.
The Falcons had a commendable year internationally. They qualified for the Olympics in dominant fashion, although they failed to replicate their success at the 2023 World Cup during the tournament.
Gusau thanks First Lady
NFF president Ibrahim Gusau received the award on behalf of the team, and during his address, he thanked the Nigerian first lady for her contribution to the team's success.
The First Lady has always been public with her support of the women's team. In 2023, after Asisat Oshoala won the Player of the Year award, she was hosted by the president's wife.
Ahead of the Olympic games, she charged the team to bring home gold via X and commended them for ending Nigeria’s 16-year absence from the tournament.
