Women Day: Top Ten Super Falcons Players by cheapgoal: 6:19pm On Mar 08, 2017 |
As the world celebrate International Women’s Day, we look at the top 10 Super Falcons players of all times. It is broadly known by a huge number of Football fans everywhere throughout the world for the men who kick those balls around the field, across countries and by rivaling the world as well, we could expect this since the game takes a gigantic measure of physical quality and passionate solidness to bear the torment of loss of a whole team and in addition the physical quality,strength, stamina and speedy intuition attitude on the field which is a standard of all professional footballers. 10. Asisat Oshoala She is widely considered as the new face of Nigeria's female football. She broke into global limelight in 2014 when she won the MVP and the top scorer award at the FIFA u20 women's world cup in Canada where Nigeria finished second behind Germany. A former Liverpool and Arsenal ladies player, she won the inaugural BBC women's player of the year award in 2015. She won the AWC with the falcons in Namibia 2014 and Cameroon 2016. She is also the current CAF Africa women's player of the year. Young Veteran!!! Source:http://cheapgoals.com/top-ten-super-falcon-players 7 Likes

7. Ann Chiejine Ann was a former goalkeeper for the falcons and is one of the best if not the best female goalkeeper Africa has ever produced. She commanded her box with authority during her playing days. She was named twice on the African Women's player of the century list compiled by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics(IFFHS) in 1999. She once played for Nigeria while carrying a pregnancy at the Sydney 2000 Olympics and the AWC later in that year. Brave!!! 22 Likes 1 Share

6. Cynthia Uwak Cynthia Uwak (born 15 July 1986 in Akwa Ibom State ) currently plays for Åland United in the Naisten Liiga in Finland. She is also a member of the Nigeria national football team . Uwak competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics [3] and the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup. She missed out on the squad for the 2010 African Women's Championship in South Africa following an injury. It was stated at the time by coach Eucharia Uche that this would not automatically mean that she would be left out of the squad for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup during the following year. However, when the World Cup squad was announced, Uwak was not listed. No specific reason was given for her omission, with a general statement saying "The coach has strictly gone with players that are capable of doing the country proud at the World Cup in Germany". She was considered for a return to the national team by coach Florence Omagbemi in 2016 for the Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon. The coach was looking at a succession of former players in an effort to bolster the team's chances at the tournament. 6 Likes 2 Shares

5. Chioma Ajunwa Chioma Ajunwa-Opara, MON (born 25 December 1970) a.k.a Chioma Ajunwa – is a former footballer and athlete who specialised in the long jump. As a professional sportswoman Ajunwa originally played football for the Nigerian women's team and was a member of The Falcons during the Women's World Cup in 1991, but as she was constantly benched her skill was seldom used. Of her short-lived football career Ajunwa has stated "I've not regretted the decision to leave football because I've made my mark in athletics. She became the first Nigerian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, and to date remains Nigeria's only individual Olympic gold medalist she is the first African woman to win an Olympic gold medal in a field event. Ajunwa is also an officer with the Nigerian Police Force. Gold!!! Source:http://cheapgoals.com/top-ten-super-falcon-players 12 Likes
