Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to sports development and youth empowerment with a ₦50 million support package for the Super Falcons.
The governor announced the gesture while hosting the national women’s football team at his office in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, ahead of their 2026 WAFCON qualifier against the Amazons of Benin Republic.
Abiodun said the support was both a recognition of the team’s inspiring performances and an incentive to motivate them for future triumphs. He noted that Ogun State is steadily transforming its sports sector through major investments in infrastructure and talent development.
He highlighted the ongoing modernization of the MKO Abiola International Stadium and plans for a world-class sports hub in Abeokuta featuring a five-star hotel, cinema, and shopping complex — projects aimed at making the state a premier destination for sports and tourism.
“We were delighted to receive the Super Falcons ahead of their second-leg WAFCON 2026 qualifier. 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.
“Their return to the MKO Abiola International Stadium is proof that we are on the right path in Ogun State. Beyond hosting matches, we are building a world-class sports environment that will make Abeokuta a true sports and tourism destination.
“We commend the Falcons for their historic tenth WAFCON title in Morocco, which lifted the spirit of our nation. They represent leadership, teamwork, and discipline. Through their success, millions of young women are learning that excellence knows no gender.
“On behalf of the government and people of Ogun State, we assure the Super Falcons of our unwavering support. We believe their success will continue to inspire the next generation of athletes and achievers, as they make Nigeria proud.”
