Victory made in Mbaise: like the women’s football motherland has delivered the glory Wafcon in Nigeria

By SilverNews

You are interested in knowing that the roots of women’s football in Nigeria can be traced back to Mbaise in the state of imo-a proud origin that proved to be once again fundamental in the triumph of Nigeria in the Cup of the Africa Nations (Wafcon) just ended in Morocco.

The historic victory that saw Nigeria overcome South Africa in the semifinal and then eliminated Morocco in the final brought the unmistakable imprint of Mbaise’s football inheritance.

In the semifinal clash-a appointment that had persecuted Nigeria for four years-era Michelle Alozie, the defender without fear of Onicha Mbaise, who got up and helped silenced the South African threat. His leadership and composure in the bottom line were decisive in guiding the super hawks through the unnerving meeting.

Then came the final against the host nation, in Morocco. With the probability stacked against the team and the stadium Ruggiando for the home team, he was another daughter of Mbaise, Jennifer Echegini – also of Onicha Mbaise – who delivered the final blow, scoring the decisive goal that delivered Nigeria L’Abita Wafcon Trophy and denied Morocco and an end of a hectare.

This last victory adds another brilliant chapter to the history of women’s football in Mbaise, a region that embraced the female game long before he earned national traction. Much of that first foundation was thrown by the legendary coach Godwin Agaraji, late known as coach Dada, whose passion and vision have contributed to planting the seeds that are bringing the fruits to the continental stage today.

From the Temple of SilverNews Communication, let’s say: Congratulations to Super Falcons, Nigeria, IMO state – and, above all, in Mbaise, the true cradle of the glory of Nigerian women’s football.
