By Tosin Omojola –

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to organize a trophy parade for the victorious Super Falcons as they return from Morocco on Monday, following their historic triumph at the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

In a statement released by the NFF’s Communications Department on Sunday, the federation announced that residents of Abuja and its environs will have the rare opportunity to see the coveted WAFCON trophy during the team’s open-roof bus parade.

According to the NFF, the Super Falcons are expected to arrive at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by noon on Monday. From there, the team will embark on a celebratory parade through major routes in Abuja before heading to the Presidential Villa.

“We are making arrangements to have a trophy parade with the players and their coaches in an open-roof bus, plying through Airport Road, Berger Junction, Maitama, and Wuse Market areas, all the way to the Presidential Villa.

“This will afford a good number of people in those areas a rare sight of the Women AFCON trophy,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said.

The Super Falcons claimed their record-extending 10th Women’s AFCON title on Saturday night with a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory over host nation Morocco at Rabat’s Stade Olympique.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is scheduled to receive the team at the Presidential Villa later on Monday in recognition of their outstanding achievement.

The President had earlier congratulated the players and officials via video call shortly after their hard-fought win, praising their determination and national pride.
