Editorial +
+
Week after week, Nigerian women are reminding the football world that the green and white jersey produces winners. Esther Okoronkwo’s goal for AFC Toronto was more than just a match-winner—it was another confirmation of her growth since dazzling Africa at the 2024 WAFCON. +
+
We can’t overlook the ripple effect of such performances. Okoronkwo’s rise adds to the momentum built by Rasheedat Ajibade at PSG, in Italy, and Rofiat Imuran in France. Together, they represent a [generation](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/football-economics/) that no longer waits for validation but commands respect on every pitch they step on. +
+
The challenge, however, remains on Nigeria’s side how do we ensure this [talent pipeline](https://agf-wiki.dk/index.php/Bruger:HollieNester2) doesn’t dry up? Investment in grassroots structures, better domestic league management, and consistent international exposure will decide whether stories like Okoronkwo’s become the rule or remain the exception. +
+
One thing is certain the Falcons abroad are flying high, and their success keeps pushing Nigerian football into brighter spotlight. +
