Bola News (Zambia) is reporting that: 'Orlando has filed a formal grievance against the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) with FIFA on behalf of Grace Chanda for “failure to provide a reasonable standard of care for player health and welfare.”

Chanda suffered a ruptured quadriceps tendon in her right leg while competing for Zambia at the Paris 2024 Olympics, putting her on the season-ending injury list.

The 26-year-old played only 34 minutes in Zambia’s Olympic opener against the United States, a 3-0 loss.'

Meet Nkpa Mary Lucky; Nigeria's Youngest Player At The Upcoming 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup

16-year-old Nkpa Mary Lucky is the youngest player in the Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.

FIFA's official release of the final squad lists for all 24 participating teams, published on Monday via their official website, confirmed Lucky as the youngest member of the Nigerian contingent.

The tournament, set to kick off on Saturday, is expected to be a significant platform for emerging talents like Lucky. Born on December 22, 2007, Lucky stands at 156 cm tall and plays as a forward for @Heartland Queens FC Owerri. Her impressive performances at the club level have been instrumental in earning her a spot on the national team.

Lucky has been the Owerri side most decorated and rewarded player. The 16-year-old has won numerous Woman of the Match (WOTM) awards while playing for the Owerri side. While she may not yet have the widespread international recognition of her more seasoned counterparts, her inclusion in the World Cup squad highlights her potential as one of the rising stars in Nigerian women's football.

In major tournaments, players like Lucky were often viewed as “wildcards”—bringing a burst of energy and the potential to surprise more experienced opponents.
Her presence on the field could be a crucial factor for Nigeria in tight matches, where unexpected brilliance can turn the tide in favour of her team. All eyes will be on Lucky to see if she can seize this opportunity and make a lasting impact for Nigeria on the world stage.

That's blasphemy! The Bay FC press officer cannot pronounce Aitana Goatmati's name.

Barcelona FC coach Pere Romeu and star Aitana Bonmati along with Bay FC coach Albertine Montoya and star Asisat Oshoala address the press ahead of the Bay FC vs Barcelona Femeni friendly match.

Gemma Font Younger Sister who was actually Spain Age grade First Choice goalkeeper and Barcelona team B goalkeeper is actually far better than her big sister just that she had ACL and still out. I believe when she’s back Barca might chip Gemma out so that Cata and the English goalie can have more game time with Gemma younger sister as 3rd choice.

How solid is our backline

Folorunsho and Shukurat?

She’s an Ex-SuperFalcon international but didn’t play much with the team. I remembered she Played for Minsk FK in Belarus 🇧🇾 and currently among the Coaching Staffs in Asisat Oshoala Academy.

At Clubside in Belarus, She played with the likes of Ijeoma Obi, Tawa Ishola, Gift Otuvwe who were also ex SuperFalcon internationals..

Linda Caicedo is the most valuable player at this year’s U20 World Cup 🤑

Rofiat Imuran arguably the biggest name in the SuperFalconet Squad…!

Laurène Martin suffers a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament suffered during Orléans vs Auxerre 🙏🇫🇷

3rd cruciate ligament rupture in 3 seasons 💔

Huge thoughts for you @laurenemartin8

Her words:
“Never 2 without 3… 🦵🏼

After 10 months of hard work, physio, strengthening, cardio, doubts to return to the field as best as possible, I completely tore the ACL in my right knee in a preparation match this week.
It's hard but there is no choice but to accept this sentence.

This little girl had a dream and it is still in her head, that is why I will fight a 3rd time to overcome this ordeal.
It's going to be hard but I'm not going to give up or give up and I'll come back again.

Thank you for your messages 🙏🏼🫶🏼 "

Asisat Oshoala should just give us a small taste of the spark she used to have Abeg..!

Oshoala vs Nicole
Bay FC are looking much better on the ball.
Oh my!! Oshoala with a ridiculous pass

Bay FC keeper just gave us Part 1

Nicole Payne has been fantastic. Going toe to toe with kundinanji

These two Super Falcons 🥰🇳🇬

BascoVanVeli:
Nicole Payne has been fantastic. Going toe to toe with kundinanji

You’re sounding as if it’s strange for her, Nicole Payne is one of the quickest Fullback in the World. She would match any of the fastest & strong forwards. She has done before even against Temwa Chawinga and will continue to.. She just needs to get better with the ball going forward and do well with her Crosses into the Box.
