During the friendly matches between Nigeria’s Super Falcons and the Cameroon national team, Dapo Abiodun presented a check for 3.7 million CFA francs to the Cameroonian players. This gesture may provide some consolation to the Indomitable Lionesses, who have once again faced defeat at the hands of their long-time rivals. Aboudi Onguéné and her teammates continue to struggle to end their losing streak, with more losses than draws in their recent encounters. Last Tuesday, they suffered a 0-2 defeat against the Super Falcons at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta as part of the international matches during the FIFA window in June.
Although the Lionesses did not secure a victory or even a draw—both of which could have symbolized resilience and hope for future challenges—they still received a meaningful gesture from the governor of Ogun State. Dapo Abiodun met with Jean-Baptiste Bisseck and his team after the match. According to reports from the editorial team at Lebledparle Sport, the governor presented them with a check for 3.7 million FCFA. While this gesture from the government is commendable, it does not overshadow the difficult circumstances the Indomitable Lionesses are currently facing against Nigeria.
