THE Super Falcons are scheduled to arrive in Abuja on Monday (today), two days after completing their ‘Mission X ‘ to win a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco.
Residents of the Federal Capital Territory and environs will have a view of the WAFCON trophy when the Super Falcons arrive in Nigeria, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) said.
The victorious contingent is scheduled to touch down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport by noon on Monday, from where they will proceed to the Presidential Villa, where they will be hosted by President Bola Tinubu.
“We are making arrangements to have a trophy parade with the players and their coaches in an open-roof bus, and plying through Airport Road, Berger junction, Maitama and Wuse Market areas all the way to the Presidential Villa,” NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said on Sunday.
“This will afford a good number of people in those areas to have a rare sight of the Women AFCON trophy.”
The Super Falcons accomplished their mission on Saturday night with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over hosts Morocco at Rabat’s Olympic Stadium.
President Tinubu is scheduled to host the team at the Presidential Villa on Monday afternoon.
