She also charged the team to win gold medal in the women\u2019s football event at the Olympics.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations our Super Falcons @NGSuper_Falcons,\u201d Tinubu wrote on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnding a 16-year Olympic jinx is no small feat, and your perseverance and commitment have truly paid off. Your hard work, resilience, and team spirit have brought glory to Nigeria and inspired countless young girls across the country to pursue their dreams fearlessly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so proud of all your achievements.<\/p>\n
Your journey doesn\u2019t end here; it\u2019s just the beginning of an even greater adventure.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake Nigeria proud, Super Falcons! Bring home the gold!<\/p>\n
The Super Falcons are drawn in Group C with world champions Spain, Japan and Brazil.<\/p>\n
They will face Brazil in their opening fixture on July 25.<\/p>\n
