D'Tigress captain Sarah Ogoke asks for 'jersey swap' with Super Falcons' Michelle Alozie
Nigeria Super Falcons defender Michelle Alozie continues to draw attention after D’Tigress captain Sarak Ogoke demanded her jersey.
Alozie has become more popular following an impressive outing for Nigeria at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, FIFAWWC.
The defender was in superb form as the Super Falcons proved to be worthy challengers in New Zealand and Australia.
Alozie at the FIFAWWC
The 26-year-old was a constant feature for Nigeria Super Eagles who made it to the round of 16 in Australia.
Alozie played all the matches as Nigeria navigated a group of death that included co-hosts Australia and Olympic champions Canada unscathed.
However, despite a gallant effort in the round of 16 against England, the Super Falcons went on to lose on penalties to the European champions with Alozie outstanding again.
The defender was excellent as she helped the Falcons keep quiet England’s superstar Lauren James, who received a red card out of frustration following a now infamous stamp on Alozie.
Ogoke reaches out to Alozie
Following her displays at the FIFAWWC, the USA-based footballer has now become one of the most recognisable Nigerian sportswomen in the world.
With her newly found status, the cancer research expert has now received a special request from another Nigerian superstar, Ogoke.
The Nigerian-American basketballer took her social media account to demand a jersey swap with the Super Falcons' most beautiful defender.
“Someone tell Michelle I’m super interested in doing a jersey swap,” she posted on her official X.com account.
Ogoke in Rwanda
Ogoke was the skipper of the Nigeria Women’s Basketball team, D’Tigress, who did the nation proud at the just concluded Afrobasket championship.
The skipper led the D’Tigress to a fourth successive Afrobasket title in Rwanda.
