The Federal Government of Nigeria has redeemed the pledge of house and $100,000 promised to members of the Super Falcons after they won the last edition of the Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.

There have been concerns in various quarters that failure by the Federal Government to redeem the pledge might ruin the Super Falcons chances of winning the fast approaching 2026 WAFCON also in Morocco.

Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Mallam Shehu Dikko, told The Guardian on Friday in Glasgow, venue of the ongoing 2026 Commonwealth Games that the players and their handlers would get key to their house this week.

“I am leaving Glasgow for Morocco this week to present key to the houses, which His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu promised the Super Falcons after they won the last edition of the WAFCON. Even their $100,000 has been paid into their various bank account. We decided to delay the presentation of the key because we wanted a situation, whereby the players will be together. I am sure it will boast their morale ahead the 2026 WAFCON event, which will kick off in Morocco in a few days,” Dikko stated.

It will be recalled that Nigeria Women National team footballers, earlier this week, alerted that unfulfilled promises by the Federal Government to the present team could affect Super Falcons’ target of winning the WAFCON for the 11th time in Morocco and also qualifying for the next FIFA Women’s Cup.

Members of United Ex Super Falcons Worldwide said at a meeting in Chicago, United States, that they are shocked by the fact that the Federal government is yet to fulfill promises of 100,000 US Dollars, land and other largesse to each player since their success story over a year now.

United States of America based ex-Super Falcons striker, Patience Avre-Odeli alleged that morale of the players presently training in Morocco is down. The ex-Super Falcons players said they are unhappy over the situation.

“The United Ex Super Falcons players Worldwide feel the pain present players are facing. They may be training, before WAFCON starts but the complains over unfulfilled promises, are getting louder.

“Virtually all players hinted us that there has not been official statement since last year and nobody talk about it. Players don’t complain for fear of being dropped. The government should ginger the players or risk international embarrassment, Avre a multiple AWC winner said on behalf of the group.
