The team and officials returned to Nigeria on Monday and were warmly received. In addition to the Super Eagles’ gesture, the President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum also rewarded the Falcons for their outstanding performance and contribution to national pride.
The donation reflects a strong bond and mutual respect between Nigeria’s men and women’s national football teams.
