In his address, Minister Enoh underscored the importance of elevating women’s football to the same pedestal as men’s football, highlighting his commitment to nurturing and promoting the Super Falcons and other female teams.
“So for me, it makes no difference, and if I have my way, by the grace of God, is to elevate this team and the entire female teams to the same level that we have the Super Eagles.”
His words of belief and assurance instilled a sense of confidence in the team, reinforcing their role as ambassadors of Nigerian football and inspiring them to rise to the occasion.
“So just go with that scene on your mind. I saw you clearly, and I believe undoubtedly that you will win.
I believe that you will be merged as you go for the second leg and to let you appreciate the enormity of the responsibility that you carry on your heads.”
“As young as you all are, you are the threshold of history, that the whole country is just waiting.
The whole country, we are watching, and we’re clapping, that you’ll make Nigeria proud.
Let’s beat the South Africans. Let’s qualify and then challenge the government and challenge me.”
Minister Enoh’s call to action resonates with the Super Falcons as they prepare to face South Africa in the decisive second leg.
With the weight of national expectations upon their shoulders, the team is poised to seize the opportunity and etch their names in Nigerian sporting history.
As they step onto the pitch, they carry not only the hopes of their nation but also the unwavering support of a minister and a country united behind them.
