Fifa WWC: First Lady, Remi Tinubu rewards Super Falcons $10,000 each

Nigeria’s first lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has rewarded Super Falcons players with $10,000 each for their exploits at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

She hosted the players in Abuja this week and praised them for their “unbreakable spirit and unwavering strength”.

The Super Falcons advanced to the Round of 16 in the tournament but were eliminated by the Three Lionesses of England in a penalty shootout.

Defender Osinachi Ohale eulogized Tinubu for her kind gesture.

“We are grateful for this unexpected gesture because for several years we’ve been winning the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) and I can’t remember us being honoured or rewarded this way,” the experienced centre-back, Ohale, told BBC Sport Africa.

“We appreciate the federal government for their support and encouragement. And we also thank Nigerians for the remarkable support during the tournament,” she added
