First Lady Remi Tinubu has hailed the Super Falcons for their performance at the 2023 Women’s World Cup despite bowing out to England.

The Nigerian ladies, ranked 40th on the global order, crashed out to the Lionesses, number 4 on the ranking, via penalties after the game ended goalless in normal and extra time.

Chloe Kelly calmly converted the decisive kick to send England through to the quarter-final of the competition.
