Desire Oparanozie

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has lauded Super Falcons striker, Desire Oparanozie and ex-international Chidi Odiah on their birthdays.

While Oparanozie clocked 25, Odiah added nine to her age to become 34.

“Happy Birthday Oparanozie! Super Falcons goal poacher. Have a good one,” the Glass House wrote on Tuesday.

In honour of the former CSKA Moscow defender, the NFF wrote “Happy birthday former Super Eagles right back, Chidi Odiah.”

Oparanozie was part of the Falcons squad that recently clinched a record 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nation (AWCON).

The powerful forward is currently on the payroll of French side, Guingamp.

Odiah, meanwhile didn’t enjoy such success with the Super Eagles.

Capped 24 times, the closest he came was third-place finishes in 2006 and 2010.
