Today Is Perpetua Nkwocha's 46th Birthday by naptu2: 3:50am On Jan 03, 2023
Perpetua Ijeoma Nkwocha (born 3 January 1976) is a Nigerian female professional footballer, who is the coach of Clemensnäs IF from Swedish Women's Football Division 2, she previously played for Swedish club Sunnanå SK. She was also a member and formerly the captain of the Nigeria women's national football team.

International career

With the Nigeria national team Nkwocha has participated in seven CAF Women's Championship editions (2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014), winning five of them (2002, 2004, 2006, 2010 and 2014). At the 2004 African Women's Championship, she scored four goals in the final against Cameroon to help her country win the title. She also set a record by scoring nine overall goals during the tournament, and was named the best player of the tournament. Nkwocha was voted African Women's Footballer of the Year in 2004, 2005, 2010 and 2011 by Confederation of African Football (CAF).

Nkwocha has also participated in four FIFA Women's World Cup (2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015), as well as the Olympic tournaments of Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and Beijing 2008.

Club career

She played for Swedish side Sunnanå SK in both the top division (Damallsvenskan) and the second division (Elitettan) leagues from 2007 until 2014.

In June 2008, the BBC reported that Nkwocha had announced her plans to retire in two years, and that after doing so she wants to continue to be involved in football by becoming a coach. As of 2012 she was still playing in Sweden's second-tier league.

Ahead of the 2015 season, 39-year-old Nkwocha left Sunnanå to join lower division (4th tier) Clemensnäs IF in a player-coach role.[6] She spent part of the previous season coaching boys' football in Nigeria, but wanted to settle in Sweden after taking Swedish citizenship.

Scored a sweet free-kick in one of those AWCON finals held in South Africa. It was a beauty; almost reminiscent of the one JJ put away against Cameroun at Tunisia 2004 AFCON. Nkwocha, Okocha - little wonder even their last names rhyme grin grin

Legends!!!

Back in the day, she used to be the best female footballer in Nigeria.

Today, Asisat Oshoala has taken over her place, breaking records that the male folks can only dream of. This is a reminder that nobody will be relevant forever.

Happy birthday, ma'am.

Perpetua Nkwocha, the female version of Okocha.....I could remember the free-kick she scored against Cameroon in the AFCON final in 2004, very similar to the one J.J. OKOCHA scored also against Cameroon in Tunisia 2004.A great Icon indeed....Happy birthday ma, long life and more success to achieve
