Igbokwe savours Super Falcons’ debut

Nigeria midfielder Joy Igbokwe has expressed excitement after making her debut for the Super Falcons last weekend, describing the opportunity to represent the country at senior level as a privilege.

Igbokwe made her first appearance for the ten-time African champions during their 2028 Olympic Games qualifier against Comoros last Friday in Ikenne.

“Well, I’m so happy and excited for this opportunity and privilege, just working,” Igbokwe said in an exclusive chat with echonews.

The former captain of the Falconets explained that her debut might have come earlier than she anticipated.

“Well, I will not say so fast, but I was ready for any opportunity that would be given, and, yeah, I was ready for any opportunity that was going to be given to me.

“My target is just to stay focused and be dedicated to the team and always be open to improvement and learning,” said Igbokwe, who missed the just-ended FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup due to visa issues.
