Fast-rising Nigerian female dare-devil striker Rita Ifeoma Offorma has opened up on her blossoming football career and revealed that she dreams of wearing the green-and-white jersey of Nigeria.
The pacy and powerful attacker, Offorma who currently plies her trade with Shaita FC of Monrovia said she has what it takes to break into the Super Falcons team, adding that once the opportunity comes her way, she will grab it with both hands.
“I started my football career at the age of 15 with the Nigeria Professional Female League side, FC Robo Queens of Lagos, Nigeria from 2018 to 2019. After playing for them in the WAFA League for two seasons, I was opportuned to sign a two-year contract abroad with a First Division team known as Renaissance Women FC of Cameroon(2019-2021) where I featured in 16 games and had 7 goals to my credit.
“After my contract ran out with the Cameroonian team, I moved to First Division team named Gazil FC at neighboring Republic of Benin. I joined them in the mid-season and from there I got a bigger offer in a First Division team in Liberia known as Earth Angels where I was signed on the 30th of September 2021.
“I featured for Earth Angels in the Petro Trade Cup before Shaita Angels FC came calling for my services at the commencement of the mid-season.
“Like I said, I started the second round of the season with Shaita Angels FC and in the 9 matches I featured for the club, I have scored 8 goals,” Offorma said.
On her expectations in her chosen career Offorma added: “My expectation for Shaita Angels FC is to work hard and help them win the Liberian Female League and play at the CAF Female Champions League.
“However, my ultimate goal is to wear the green-and-white jersey of the Super Falcons and win the FIFA Women’s World Cup for Nigeria.”
