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.
