Sunny Iwegbu: Ogonna Chukwudi Deserves Nigeria recall
Ogonna Chukwudi has done enough to merit a place in the Super Falcons team according to the South-South Chairman of Women Football Development Association, Mr Sunny Iwegbu.<br /><br />The 27-year-old attacking midfielder became an instant hit when she joined KIF Orebro from Umea in 2013 and has netted 21 goals in 48 appearances.<br /><br />The ex Pelican Stars playmaker is considered one of the reasons for Orebro`s impressive rise in the Swedish Dammaslveskan and the UEFA Women`s Champions League.<br /><br />She has been kept in the cooler since featuring for Nigeria at the 2012 African Women`s Championship held in Equatorial Guinea.<br /><br />Sunny Iwegbu is however craving for another chance to the skillful ball joggler.<br /><br />“Since Ogonna arrived in Orebro she has been one of the best players in Sweden. I wonder why a player performing at the highest level is usually snubbed by her country,” Iwegbu said.<br /><br />“It baffles me a lot that her form hasn`t been well appreciated by our coaches in the past three years.<br /><br />“She is playing very well, her teammates, fans, management and the coaches are happy with the impact she has made since her celebrated move from Umea. ” <br /><br />He added : “I have no doubt in quality and I believe she can do very well with the Super Falcons if given the opportunity again.<br /><br />“I think she has done well enough at her club to get a chance in the team to prove herself for the country she has served so much in the last. ” <br /><br />Another Nigerian on the payroll of KIF Orebro is Sarah Michael.<br /><br />Photo Credit : svenskfotboll.se<br />
