Super Falcons Winger Omorinsola Babajide Calls WAFCON Victory the Proudest Moment of Her Career

Omorinsola Babajide has described Nigeria’s recent Women’s Africa Cup of Nations success as the greatest achievement of her professional journey so far.

The Super Falcons star, who features for AS Roma Women, was part of the squad that clinched the continental title under head coach Justin Madugu. The tournament, popularly known as “Mission X,” ended in dramatic fashion as Nigeria fought back from two goals down to defeat the Moroccan women's national football team in the final.

In an interview with 49th Street, the 27-year-old reflected on the emotional weight of lifting the trophy in her first major tournament with the Super Falcons.

“I’m Nigerian. As big an achievement as it was and with how successful Mission X was, it’s been the pinnacle of my career to date. The proudest moment of my career so far would definitely be lifting the WAFCON trophy in my first-ever mainstream tournament. That has to be the greatest,” she told the 49th street.
