A Historic Achievement

Strategic partners to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), GTI Asset Management & Trust Limited, have extended heartfelt congratulations to the Super Falcons following their dramatic and resilient 3–2 comeback victory over host nation Morocco in the final of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). This monumental achievement firmly cements the Super Falcons’ legacy in African football.

Celebrating Team Spirit

In a press statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos by GTI’s Head of Media and Publicity, Andrew Ekejiuba, the investment banking firm lauded the senior women’s national team for making the nation proud. Their exceptional determination, teamwork, and never-say-die spirit were key in lifting the WAFCON trophy for a record-extending tenth time.

“We congratulate the Super Falcons for delivering a legendary five-star performance against a determined Moroccan side in the 2024 WAFCON final at Stade Olympique in Rabat,” the statement read. Despite trailing 2–0, the Super Falcons staged a stunning comeback to secure their historic victory.

The Thrilling Final

Morocco initially shocked the home crowd by taking an early 2–0 lead with goals from Ghizlane Chebbak and Sanaa Mssoudy. However, the Super Falcons sparked a dramatic turnaround in the 64th minute when Esther Okoronkwo converted a penalty, igniting hope among Nigerian fans. Folashade Ijamilusi quickly followed it up with a powerful equalizer, and Jennifer Echegini’s header in the 88th minute sealed the win.

Looking Ahead

As we look forward to the next WAFCON edition in 2026, also hosted by Morocco, GTI emphasized the importance of sustaining the momentum generated by this historic victory. The firm also called on Corporate Nigeria to intensify support for women’s football and sports development.

“This triumph is not just a sporting milestone; it is an inspiration. Let us harness this moment to invest further in the beautiful game,” the statement concluded.

With this achievement, the Super Falcons continue to inspire a new generation of athletes, encouraging them to pursue excellence on both national and global stages.
