Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has announced a ₦50 million cash gift for the Super Falcons ahead of their decisive second-leg 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Amazons of the Benin Republic in Abeokuta, the state capital.

Abiodun made the announcement in a Facebook post on Tuesday, October 27, as he received the female national team at his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, on Monday.

“We were delighted to receive the Super Falcons of Nigeria in our office at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, ahead of their second-leg WAFCON 2026 qualifier against the Amazons of Benin Republic.

“In recognition of their inspiring performances and to further motivate them for the task ahead, we announced a support package of ₦50 million to the team,” Abiodun wrote.

He said the Falcons’ return to the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, was proof that the state’s investment in sports development was paying off.

“Their return to the MKO Abiola International Stadium is a validation that we are doing something right in Ogun State,” the governor said.
