The Nigerian President,
Goodluck Jonathan, has congratulated Nigeria’s Under-20 female football team,
the Falconets, on their qualification for the final match of the ongoing FIFA
Tournament in Canada.
The President applauded the
Falconets’ brilliant display which earned them a 6-2 victory in Wednesday’s
semi-final encounter with North Korea, as well as their very commendable
performance in earlier matches.
As the Falconets prepare for
the final match of the tournament against Germany on Sunday, President Jonathan
urged them to put in their very best effort to win the under-20 Female World
Cup for Nigeria and Africa for the first time in the history of the
competition.
He assured the girls and their
handlers of the full support of the Federal Government and the prayers of all
Nigerians for their triumph on Sunday.
