In true champion style, Amstel Malta and Goldberg hosted a grand celebration on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, to honour the Super Falcons of Nigeria, fresh from their historic 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) win in Rabat, Morocco.
The celebration was proudly sponsored by Goldberg and Amstel Malta; two brands that share the
Falcons’ winning spirit. Goldberg, a symbol of the “Gold Standard” in excellence, found a unique
reflection in the team’s courage and character. Amstel Malta, with its rallying call to “Be Your Best“, saluted the Falcons for doing just that; breaking limits, rewriting history, and standing tall on the continent’s biggest stage.
The day kicked off at 11:30 a.m. when the team touched down in Lagos at the Local Terminal (GAT)
of Muritala Mohammed Airport. The Super Falcons arrived in style, they were received and escorted
to the Nigeria Breweries Plc headquarters in Iganmu, Lagos. Awaiting them was a spirited welcome,
complete with traditional drummers, dancers, and a courtyard lined with staff and other partners of the organisation.
Inside, the Nigerian Breweries leadership team, including Managing Director, Thibaut Boidin, welcomed the champions with a heartfelt speech and a gift presentation of a 50-million-naira cheque. The Super Falcons’ Captain, Rasheedat Ajibade, speaking on behalf of the team, expressed her gratitude for the love and recognition shown.
Congratulations, Super Falcons on your 10th WAFCON victory, your win is nothing short of legendary. At Nigerian Breweries, we don’t see this as just another trophy, said Sandra Amachree, Head of Marketing Communications, Nigerian Breweries.
She continued, we see it as a national moment; one that embodies excellence, resilience, teamwork, and pride. These are the values we champion, and it is our honour to celebrate this victory with you. As proud sponsors of the Super Falcons, we remain committed to supporting those who inspire, lead, and unite through the beautiful game.
