Super Falcons are African champions… again
Nigeria’s Super Falcons on Sunday defeated defending champions Equatorial Guinea 4-2 to win the 7th African Women’s Championship in South Africa.
It was the 6th time Nigeria was emerging champions of Africa and the win served as sweet revenge for the Super Falcons who lost out at the semi final stage of the 2008 tournament to the Equatorial Guineans.
