Pat Ayegba: HerGame Foundation Boss Confident Super Falcons Will Deliver Record 11th WAFCON

The Chief Executive Officer of HerGame Foundation, Dr. Pat Ajuma Ayegba, has expressed confidence in the Super Falcons' ability to successfully defend their Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) crown, backing the Nigerian side to win a record-extending 11th continental title in Morocco.

Dr. Ayegba, who also serves as a Board Member of the Federal Capital Territory Football Association (FCT FA) and Chairperson of its Women's Football Committee, described the Super Falcons as the benchmark for women's football in Africa, applauding their consistency, resilience and winning mentality over the years.

She noted that beyond their achievements on the pitch, the Super Falcons have become powerful symbols of hope and inspiration for millions of young girls aspiring to build careers in football.

"The Super Falcons are more than champions; they are role models. Every time they step onto the pitch, they inspire countless girls to believe in their dreams, embrace hard work and pursue football with confidence. Their success has shown that Nigerian women can compete and excel at the highest level of the game," Ayegba said.

The HerGame Foundation boss explained that the accomplishments of the Super Falcons continue to strengthen the Foundation's commitment to discovering, nurturing and empowering the next generation of female footballers across Nigeria through football, education and mentorship.

According to her, investing in young girls through sports remains one of the most effective ways of creating opportunities, promoting gender equality and producing future champions capable of representing Nigeria on the global stage.

Ayegba urged the players to remain united, disciplined and focused throughout the tournament, expressing confidence that they possess the quality, experience and character needed to retain the African title.

"We are proud of you, and the entire nation stands firmly behind you. Go out there, give your best, make history once again and continue inspiring the next generation of Nigerian girls to dream without limits. We believe you can bring home our record-extending 11th WAFCON title."

Nigeria entered the tournament as defending champions and Africa's most successful women's national team, aiming to further extend their dominance on the continent while also securing qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. The Super Falcons face Malawi, Zambia and Egypt in Group C as they begin another quest for continental glory.
