Super Falcons Defender Oluwatosin Demehin has shared an emotional message following Nigeria’s disappointing exit from the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, reflecting on the team’s journey while insisting that the setback will not define them.
Demehin acknowledged the disappointment of falling short of their ambitions, particularly after the team’s quarterfinal defeat brought their World Cup qualification hopes to an unexpected end.
She expressed pride in her teammates and the determination they showed throughout the tournament, while also appreciating the moments shared as a team.
The defender admitted that the result hurts, but believes the experience will provide valuable lessons for the Super Falcons as they look ahead.
“We will learn. We will grow. We will come back stronger,” Demehin wrote.
She stressed that the disappointment represents another chapter rather than the end of the team’s journey, highlighting the pride that comes with representing Nigeria at the highest level.
According to Demehin, the team will use the experience as motivation to improve, continue working, and move forward with renewed determination.
“This one hurts, but it won’t define us. We keep believing. We keep working. We keep moving forward,” she concluded.
The message reflects the mood within the Super Falcons camp as the players look to turn the pain of the WAFCON setback into motivation for the challenges that lie ahead.
