GTI congratulates Super Falcons on WAFCON win
Strategic partners to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on the President Federation Cup (PFC), 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).
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, praising their exceptional determination, teamwork, and the never-say-die spirit that led them to lift 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 the iconic Stade Olympique in Rabat,” the statement read. “Despite trailing 2–0, the Super Falcons staged a stunning comeback to secure a 3–2 victory, reaffirming their dominance in African women’s football.”
GTI described the Falcons’ victory as a testament to the indomitable Nigerian spirit — a spirit defined by resilience, passion, and the ability to rise to the occasion when it matters most.
In the thrilling final, Morocco shocked the home crowd by taking an early 2–0 lead through 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. That goal opened the goal net to the Falcons through Folashade Ijamilusi and Jennifer Echegini in the 88th minute.
“This triumph is not just a sporting milestone; it is an inspiration. Let us harness this moment to invest further in the beautiful game because it helps foster national pride and project a positive image for Nigeria on the global stage,” the statement concluded.
