In a celebration fit for champions, Amstel Malta and Goldberg rolled out the drums to honour the Super Falcons of Nigeria — fresh off their record-setting 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) victory in Rabat, Morocco.
The celebration was proudly sponsored by Goldberg and Amstel Malta; two brands that share the Falcons’ winning spirit. Goldberg, a symbol of the “Gold Standard” in excellence, found a perfect reflection in the team’s courage and character. Amstel Malta, with its rallying call to “Be Your Best”, saluted the Falcons for doing just that; breaking limits, rewriting history, and standing tall on the continent’s biggest stage.
The day kicked off at 11:30 a.m. when the team touched down in Lagos at the Local Terminal (GAT) of Muritala Mohammed Airport. In partnership with Air Peace, the Falcons arrived in style aboard the brand-new Embraer E195-E2, the premium jewel of the airline’s fleet. From there, they were received and escorted straight to the Nigeria Breweries Plc headquarters in Iganmu, Lagos. Awaiting them was a spirited welcome, complete with traditional drummers, dancers, and a courtyard lined with staff and other partners of the organisation.
Inside, the Nigerian Breweries leadership team, including Managing Director, Thibaut Boidin, welcomed the champions with a heartfelt speech and a gift presentation of a 50 million naira cheque. The Super Falcons’ Captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, speaking on behalf of the team, expressed her gratitude for the love and recognition shown.
“Congratulations, Super Falcons on your 10th WAFCON victory, your win is nothing short of legendary. At Nigerian Breweries, we don’t see this as just another trophy,” said Thibaut Boidin, MD, Nigerian Breweries. He continued, “We see it as a national moment; one that embodies excellence, resilience, teamwork, and pride. These are the values we champion, and it is our honour to celebrate this victory with you. As proud sponsors of the Super Falcons, we remain committed to supporting those who inspire, lead, and unite through the beautiful game.”
From Iganmu, the Falcons took to the streets of Lagos for a victory parade — an open-bus trophy tour from Marina to Victoria Island, drawing in fans who filled the roadsides with joyful cheers. The celebration concluded with an exclusive dinner hosted by Popular Content Creator, KieKie at the Sky Lounge, Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.
