Former Super Falcons and Wolfsburg striker, Ugochi Desire Oparanozie, has revealed her fear for the future of female football in Nigeria, Soccernet.ng reports.
A true veteran of the game, the striker called time on her football career last year after the Super Falcons of Nigeria were eliminated from the 2023 FIFA Womens World Cup in Australia/New Zealand by the Three Lionesses of England.
Speaking at the 2024 Ladies in Sports Conference, the 2018 WAFCON winner revealed how Nigeria were able to dominate the African football space for a long while, and how other teams have caught up with them.
Additionally, the one-time UWCL Champions League winner revealed the administrative problems of womens football and gave some insight as to how it can be better.
Across a Super Falcon career that spanned thirteen years, Oparanozie never played in the Olympics. After her retirement, the Nigerian team returned to the Olympics.
