We are confident they can go all the way to the final and lift the trophy after a seven-year wait.

“The Super Falcons are set to play their final group stage match against Algeria on Sunday, July 13, 2025. Although their quarterfinal opponent is yet to be determined, the team’s focus remains on achieving success in the competition.

Hon. Amadu concluded by praising the quality and depth of the team, expressing optimism that the current squad has what it takes to restore Nigeria’s dominance in African women’s football.
