Nnadozie, who recounted how her dad didn’t allow her to pursue her dreams as a footballer, urged upcoming female players not to give up in their dreams and aspirations.

“To all the young girls growing up in Africa, dreaming of becoming a footballer one day, believe me dreams do come true. My dad didn’t want me to play football but I’m sure he’s gonna see this and be happy. So, keep dreaming, keep working and I believe that one day you’ll get to this stage.” she said.
