This is to every football loving fan in Nigeria who has stood by the Super Falcons thus far:
This one hurts. There’s no way around that.
We didn’t get the result we wanted, and for the first time, we won’t be at the World Cup. I carry that. I take it personally, and I know every member of this team does, too.
But I want to say this clearly: this team gave everything. Every training session, every match, every ounce of fight, nothing was held back.
Sadly, sometimes the outcome doesn’t reflect the effort, and that’s football. It doesn’t make the disappointment less real, but it also doesn’t erase what this team is capable of.
To my teammates at WAFCON 2026, thank you for fighting to the very last minute, every single game.
To our coaches and staff, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, thank you 🙏🏽
And to our fans, who never stopped believing, even when it got hard, we felt every bit of your support, and we’re sorry we couldn’t give you the ending you deserved.
This isn’t the end of the Super Falcons’ story. We go back to work. We rebuild. We come back stronger because that’s who we are.
We now look forward to the Olympics Qualifiers. We believe it is a chance for redemption, and we will rebuild this trust you’ve got in us brick by brick with God on our side.
Thank you for standing with us. Always.
It is all for the God’s glory, and we will continue to thank him irrespective of the challenges and circumstances that surround us!
Once again, thank you, and God bless us all
