Can financial motivation spur Nigeria’s Super Falcons to another victory on the continental stage? Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has gifted the national women’s football team a total of ₦50 million ahead of their crucial second-leg encounter against Benin Republic in the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers. The announcement came during the team’s courtesy visit to the governor’s office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Monday.
Reporting for Jocomms, our correspondent noted that the governor described the gesture as a mark of appreciation for the Super Falcons’ consistency, excellence, and historic achievements — including their record 10th WAFCON title in Morocco. “While hosting the Super Falcons yesterday ahead of their WAFCON 2026 qualifier against Benin Republic, we announced a ₦50 million support package in recognition of their inspiring performance and to further motivate them,” Abiodun stated in a message shared on his official Instagram page.
Governor Abiodun reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to sports development and youth empowerment, citing ongoing projects such as the modernization of the MKO Abiola International Stadium and the creation of a world-class sports hub in Ogun State. As the Super Falcons prepare for the decisive clash, will this generous boost from the Gateway State inspire another landmark triumph for Nigeria’s football queens?
