SUPER LEAGUE FÉMININE ! HERE WE GO AGAIN 🚨

Here is the new format of the new competition open to all female teams in Europe:

Two leagues: STAR & GOLD. The two leagues will have 16 clubs each with two groups of eight teams. Seven home games and seven away games.

Next, a knockout phase will determine the champions of both respective leagues.

There will be promotion and relegation between the two leagues.

Super league qualification is based on national championships.

Lol

Good point. Even they wouldn't want to be that obvious.

The men's team have 52 players on their roster and only 12 of them earn over $550k per year so it's a little hard to believe she will earn that much even though Forbes is reporting same.

I kind of doubt but $550 plus is very possible as Tigress can afford that, An information published by the Diari ARA indicates that Alexia Puttelas is requesting for an amount greater than one million euros and which could be close to 1.5M euros but currently she receives, a little less than 800,000 euros per year..!

🎙So Comfort 18-yrs, currently the first choice goalkeeper for Albions ladies Youth Team.

I met Comfort in London with her Dad ( Nigerian) aged 16 yrs when she was still at West Ham utd, born in the Netherlands, UK citizen.

She is so passionate about playing for Nigeria at youth level and working her way up gradually.

We had a meeting in London with the General secretary of NFF Dr Sanusi and Dayo Enebi.

We started the journey for her naija passport, and thanks to Nigeria high commission London for their help, Mr Ugochukwu ( my oga as usual) 🇳🇬

Young comfort got invited to the U20, She loved the experience then and was very honest in her submission that she wasn't ready for the challenge.

Now, two years on, she has picked herself up, join Brighton Albion ladies, and now the 1st choice GK with so much improvement to her game.

She has revealed to us how ready she is now and very much ready for the U20 challenge with Falconets 🇳🇬

I'm so happy to see her progress over time, and Im sure she has all what it takes to compete .

FIFA, NFF inaugurate $1.19m mini stadium in Kebbi

The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) and the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) have inaugurated a mini stadium said to be worth $1.19 million in Kebbi.

According to NAN, Nasir Idris, governor of Kebbi, led the commissioning of the facility, located on Kalgo Road in Birnin Kebbi, the state capital. The foundation of the mini stadium was laid in September 2020 by Atiku Bagudu, former governor of the state.

The project is sponsored by FIFA through its “Forward Programme” which aims at providing more comprehensive funding and support for football development projects across the world.

Speaking at the inauguration, Ibrahim Gusau, NFF president, said the federation will do more to provide facilities to improve the stadium’s standard further.
He promised more effort to improve sports development across the country.

“We are going to do more to increase the facilities for the stadium to be of standard than its now,” Gusau said.

“We are not going to let the youth down and I urge them to come back to help others that are coming up if they have the opportunities outside the country.”
The FIFA Forward programme also funds another mini stadium in Ugborodo, Delta State.

Onyi Echegini have really made a name for herself… If she was to be an American I believed the USWNT will be eyeing her with a Call up soon…


Nominated for the biggest Awards afar as the US College Soccer is concerned…Honda Award and MAC Hermann Finalist…

Echegini Named Honda Award Finalist for Women's Soccer

FSU Onyi Echegini is adding another accolade to her spectacular season as she was named a finalist for the Honda Award for women's soccer on Monday afternoon. This is the fourth consecutive season that FSU has had a finalist for the award as Jaelin Howell was a finalist in 2020 and 2021 while also winning the award in 2021. Jenna Nighswonger was a finalist for the award last season. Echegini is looking to become FSU's third Honda Award winner joining Natalia Kuikka (2018) and Howell (2021).

The ACC Offensive Player of the Year and MAC Hermann Trophy finalist had a year to remember for the 2023 National Champions. Echegini led the Seminoles with 16 goals and five assists in 23 games this season. Her 16 goals were tied for eighth for the most goals scored in school history. The First Team All-American led the ACC in both goals and in points and finished in the top 10 in the country in both categories. En route to the Seminoles' fourth title, Echegini scored three goals and added two assists in the NCAA Tournament. Echegini rose to the occasion multiple times this season and played her best games against ranked opponents. In 10 games against ranked foes, Echegini scored nine goals and added one assists for FSU and also scored the game-winning goal in three of those games.
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 48 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies "the best of the best in collegiate athletics". The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2024 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 24, 2024, at 7 PM ET, from its new home in New York City.

The women's soccer finalists by a panel of experts and coaches from the United Soccer Coaches. The Honda Sport award winner for soccer will be announced later this week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.

BascoVanVeli:
It depends what u call consistency. If u are talking about goals and assist, maybe but if we are talking putting ur opponent under pressure whenever u are on the ball, I believe Gift is our most consistent forward.

Putting Opponents under Pressure??😂😂😂

Monday Gift can’t give it as Rasheedat Ajibade does so don’t..

BascoVanVeli:
Rinsola has Justin Madugu to thank for her start last week. With Gift starting 2 matches the Tenerife coach went with Rinsola and she earned this start with the assist in the last match.

But why did Tenerife Coach Play Babajide in her alternative position? Should have left her on the Left which is her Original position… Monday GifT would have done better on the right, have seen her do shit to Real Madrid Left back previously while playing from the Left…

But Tenerife Low Block no be here ooo 5-4-1 while defending 😂🤗

BascoVanVeli:
Gift would tear this Barca side up

Lol 😂
She better do that cause her she’s one of the most inconsistent forward we have right now, perform for 2 or 3 games then goes off for a while.. She has the talent though.

Haba.. 😢

Rinsola Babajide the only Starter in the UDG Tenerife vs Barcelona Derby

Monday Gift and Asisat Oshoala on the bench..

Do you agree?

Are the home based Nigerian female players better than the foreign based ones?

Coach Emmanuel Osahon Mentioned that foreign Super Falcons players are not as effective or strong as home based league players.

Sad one … Esther Okoronkwo won’t be available for the game against Barca tomorrow, I saw her post drugs on her instagram story yesterday before she went Live for her 50k Talent show giveaway where she captioned with “I hate taking drugs”

Alozie and Christy Ucheibe also joined yesterday..

Anyway her growth is in Progress from Belarus 🇧🇾 to Poland 🇵🇱 down to Russia 🇷🇺.. From Russia she should be aiming for the top6 big league in Europe!

I remember very well how Coach Randy Waldrum spoke highly of her before the WAFCON but she didn’t get that much game time needed for her to Prove herself..!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCv-ZtgtNM0?feature=shared


If she was from Countries like Cameroon, Ghana, Cote’d’ivoire, Mali, Kenya, Tanzania she will definitely be a starter there!

Maclean didn’t play much this season because of injury, She was the top Scorer of the Russian Women’s League before she got injured and she was out for over 2months .. managed 9goals in 15 appearances..

I hope she will be okay enough for next season as I have high hopes on her.. She’s just 24yrs though., there’s still time for her to break in.!

She has an intimidating physique, good in front of goal, hold up play is good, can use both feet’s effectively and also very good in the air..!

GeneralDae:
Nah, only prime Oparanozie fits the Osimhen style. Macleans also, but she is yet to prove herself.

Yeah Macleans be giving that Oparanozie kind of vibes mainly because she’s typically a number 9 and have dsame Physical Attributes as Oparanozie..

A well built No.9 cause I like my top9 aggressive coupled with intimidating physique.
