“We did it! Mission X accomplished! Words can’t fully express what this moment means. This isn’t just our 10th WAFCON trophy, it’s a testament to the relentless spirit of this team. Every tackle, every pass, every moment of pure grit on that field was for each other, for our country, and for every single one of you who believed in us.
To the fans: you are our 12th player. Your cheers from home and abroad echoed in our hearts and pushed us to the very end. Thank you for your unwavering support.
To my sisters, my teammates, I’m so incredibly proud of every one of you. We did it together against all odds.
To the young girls with dreams in their eyes: this is for you. Hold on to your passion. Work hard. Your time is coming. Believe in yourself, and know that anything is possible.
Forever grateful to the Most High GOD. Forever champions.”
