Receiving the team at the Presidential Villa on Monday, President Tinubu conferred the national honour of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) on all players and technical crew.
He also announced that each player and member of the technical crew will receive a fully furnished three-bedroom house, along with a cash reward of $100,000 for players and $50,000 for technical staff.
The President hailed the Super Falcons for their patriotism and for bringing glory to Nigeria once again, calling their triumph a “monumental display of resilience and pride.”
