Sydney FC have signed Nigerian World Cup striker Francesca Ordega for the remainder of the Westfield W-League 2016/17 season, the club confirmed today.

Ordega is the first African player to play in the Westfield W-League and joins the Sky Blues on the back of winning a third Africa women’s Cup of Nations title, in front of 40,000 fans in Cameroon earlier this month. Francisca made the team of the tournament.

The 23-year old forward has been capped 26 times for the Nigerian national team and also boasts experience at two FIFA Women’s World Cups (2011 and 2015), featuring against the Westfield Matildas in the 2015 tournament as Sky Blues teammate Kyah Simon scored twice to down the Super Falcons.

She spent the last two seasons with Washington Spirit in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) in the United States of America.


Ordega is excited for her first season in Australia with Sydney FC.
“I’m really pleased to be signing with a club of Sydney FC’s stature,” she said.


“I’ve heard great things about Sydney FC and the Westfield W-League and I’m really excited to be in Australia for the first time.

“I’ve played against the Matildas and I know the quality of players Australia produce. I know it’s going to be a challenge playing in the Westfield W-League but it’s one I’m looking forward to"
