Mrs Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady, has commended the Super Falcons of Nigeria for displaying thorough sportsmanship at the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup taking place in Australia and New Zealand.
Oluremi stated this while welcoming the members of the Super Falcons team and their officials on Monday in Abuja.
Media Talk Africa recalls that the Super Falcons crashed out of the Women’s World Cup in the round of 16 after losing 4-2 via penalty shootout earlier this month.
“Although the final result didn’t go our way, victory isn’t solely determined by the result on the field, however, the unbreakable spirit and unity that you demonstrated are true markers of success. I celebrate all of you for displaying a high level of true sportsmanship on the pitch. You have not only represented Nigeria on the global stage, but you have also become role models for our youths, especially young girls, who now see their aspirations mirrored in you,” Oluremi said.
