With few days to the start of the 8th edition of the FIFA Women’s World Cup final in France, the chances of Super Falcons’ dashing winger Chinaza Uchendu to make Nigeria’s 23-man final list has received a massive boost.
Uchendu who plays her club football with Sporting Clube de Braga in the Portuguese top division women’s football league at weekend helped her team to lift the coveted Leaque trophy. It was the left- footed player’s first silverware in Europe.
The former Rivers Angels attacker who was in the team that lifted the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) in Ghana last year is currently one of the key members of Head Coach, Thomas Dennerby’s main team.
With her impressive performances in the Portuguese Leaque this season, Uchendu is expected to make Dennerby’s final list to France.
