Super Falcons striker Rofiat Sule has revealed how she started playing football as a young girl among boys before becoming a professional footballer.

Rofiat Sule won her first trophy for Nigeria in the WAFU Zone B Women’s Cup scoring three goals in the competition as the Super Falcons defeated Ivory Coast in the final.

Sharing her inspirational story, she said: “I started playing football at our former compound in Orile Iganmu with my cousin

“Then, when I was in primary school, I love playing in the midst of boys. But my dad mustn’t see me playing, because he really wanted me to focus on education.

“It was when I entered secondary school, I decided that I wanted to become a professional footballer because I prefer to play football and forget about food.

“Then in school if our English teacher asks us to write a letter on what we want to become in the future I will write that I want to become a footballer.

“My classmates will laugh at me as if I don’t know what I am writing.”

The former Rivers Angel striker, who has won the Nigeria Women Football League highest goal scorer award twice.
