Stella Mbachu
Mbachu, who was a member of the Namibia 2014 African Women
Championship-winning Super Falcons, said she is calling time on her
football career at club and country.
The 36-year-old had first national team appearance and scored in the
Super Falcons' 2-0 win against Ghana in Abeokuta in the maiden African
Women Championship in 1998.
The Most Valuable Player at South Africa 2010 African Women
Championship, who had 89 appearances and scored 20 goals for Nigeria,
said she is fulfilled after winning lots of laurels for her country
and club in her trophy-laden football career.
The former Rivers Angels forward, who is the only remaining member of
the Super Falcons that played at the 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup in
the United States, also announced plans to venture into coaching as
she felt the time is right to take a bow.
"This is complete, I've completed everything about football both for
national team and club football. I'm not playing anymore," Mbachu
said.
"I just want to rest and give the younger ones the chance. I know they
will do it because they are already doing it," she explained.
