Senator Remi Tinubu Hails Falcons Despite World Cup Exit, Promises Team Heroic Welcome

Remi Tinubu, wife of the president, has praised the performance of the Super Falcons despite losing to England at the 2023 Women’s World Cup (WWC). 

The Falcons were dumped out of the WWC on Monday following a 4-2 loss on penalties to the Lionesses. Nigeria performed spiritedly against the European champions, forcing the game into extra time and a penalty shootout after a goalless draw.
