The Nigeria Amputee Football Federation NAFF has launched a fundraising initiative titled Empower Her to support the Nigeria Women Amputee Football National Team, the Special Falcons, as they prepare for the inaugural Women’s Amputee Football World Cup. The tournament, organized by the World Amputee Football Federation WAFF, will take place in Colombia from November 4 to 10, 2024.
Placed in Group C, Nigeria will compete against Ecuador, the USA, and Ukraine. The Special Falcons are eager to showcase their talent and determination at the tournament, but they need financial backing to make history. The campaign is a rallying cry for everyone to contribute and ensure the team’s presence at this landmark event.
For those wishing to support the cause, donations can be made to the Special Eagles account at Zenith Bank, as detailed in the campaign.

The launch of the Empower Her campaign by the Nigeria Amputee Football Federation is a crucial step toward ensuring the participation of the Special Falcons in the historic Women’s Amputee Football World Cup. This is more than just a sporting event it’s an opportunity to highlight the strength, resilience, and talent of these remarkable athletes.
This historic event marks the first ever Women’s Amputee Football World Cup, with Nigeria, Cameroon, and Kenya representing Africa on the global stage. Despite months of rigorous training, the Special Falcons face financial challenges that could prevent their participation. Through the Empower Her campaign, NAFF is calling on the public, corporate organizations, and government bodies for support, emphasizing that no amount is too small to help the team attend the tournament.
We believe that the Special Falcons’ inclusion in this tournament is a testament to the power of perseverance, especially for athletes who have had to overcome tremendous challenges. Their dedication to representing Nigeria on a global stage deserves the full support of the nation, as their participation would be a proud moment for both Nigeria and Africa.
It’s not only a matter of competition but also of inspiring future generations of athletes, particularly women, who face physical disabilities. We urge everyone to contribute to this noble cause and ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of these athletes making history.
