Esther Okoronkwo beats Super Eagles stars to claim Nigeria’s Baller of the Week!

In a weekend packed with Nigerian flair across global pitches, Esther Okoronkwo earns the title of Baller of the Week, outshining even the Super Eagles superstars with her explosive performance. 

While the resurgent Super Eagles stars like Victor Boniface and Kelechi Iheanacho made solid comebacks at Werder Bremen and Scottish giants Celtic respectively, Fulham’s Calvin Bassey with Alex Iwobi showed grit in the Premier League. 

Okoronkwo's dominance in the Northern Super League was on another level, proving that Nigerian women's talent is lighting up the game just as brightly.

Esther Okoronkwo stole the spotlight with a masterful hat-trick of goal contributions in AFC Toronto's 7-0 demolition of Vancouver Rise. 

She scored twice and provided a key assist, running riot on the field and showing her speed, finishing, and vision that have defined her early-season form. 

This wasn't just a win; it was a statement, reinforcing her as one of Nigeria's most promising exports in women's football. 

Even as Super Eagles aces like Boniface (with his debut assist for Werder Bremen) and Iheanacho (clutch penalty for Celtic) resurrected their seasons, and despite Victor Osimhen's sidelined status, it was Okoronkwo's all-around brilliance, outpacing the men's highlights in sheer impact, that made her the undeniable standout. 

Her continued excellence for club and country is turning heads in North America, hinting at a bright future for the Super Falcons pipeline. Keep shining, Esther!
