The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has apologised to President Bola Tinubu and Nigerians following the Super Falcons’ failure to secure direct qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
NFF President, Ibrahim Gusau, tendered the apology on behalf of the federation, the Super Falcons and the entire Nigerian football family in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Mr Gusau said the federation recognised the disappointment caused to millions of Nigerians who passionately supported the team throughout the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
He acknowledged the Federal Government’s support for the Super Falcons, particularly the recognition and rewards given to the team following their previous WAFCON triumph.
“We wish to extend a special and heartfelt apology to His Excellency, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic, Bola Tinubu, for this disappointment.
