Princess Mabel Madojiemu, an Olympian and veteran Nigerian quarter-miler, has commended the Super Falcons for winning their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title, defeating the Lioness 3-2 in Morocco.
Princess Mabel, based in Australia, noted that the Super Falcons’ comeback from a 2-0 deficit to beat the host nation was a notable achievement.
As a member of the Edo State Sports Commission, she stated that this victory reinforces Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s football.
“I commend the Super Falcons players for making the nation proud once again. We females are proud of the Falcons’ representation of Nigeria.’ ‘Winning this title on Moroccan soil, against the host team, after trailing 2-0, demonstrates the team’s resilience and the fighting spirit of Nigerian Women.” She said.
