The ladies really showed maturity and delivered the eighth AWCON for their dearest country."
    The statement hailed the players for displaying exemplary strength, courage, determination and patriotism as well as great skills and creativity to silence hosts Cameroon in the final of the eight-team tournament. 

    "The Super Falcons delivered the mandate handed to them before the commencement of the tournament. They fought hard for the interest of the nation and won the cup in front the Cameroonian fans. They are real partriots."

    "We are very proud of the Super Falcons for their remarkable achievement and we firmly believe that this excellent performance will take the other national sides to higher levels in the international football fraternity."

    "The AWCON is the biggest women's football competiton on the African continent and for us to have won it again shows that we are still a force not just in Africa but in the world too."
