Super Falcons of Nigeria midfielder, Ngozi Okobi, announced the arrival of her first child earlier today, September 17.
Ngozi Okobi took to her Instagram page to announce the arrival of her baby, expressing her gratitude to God and embracing her new role as a mother with the hashtags #godbepraised #iamamother #newmom.
The 30-year-old footballer accompanied her heartfelt message with endearing photos of her baby bump, capturing the precious moments of her pregnancy journey.
Before her announcement, Ngozi had chosen to keep her pregnancy journey private, only occasionally sharing glimpses of her fitness routines and casual moments on social media.
Her husband, Ahmed Okeoghene, whom she married on December 9, 2017, in Delta State, stood by her as she continued to pursue her football career as a midfielder for almost seven years before the arrival of their bundle of joy.
Ngozi Okobi’s remarkable career includes representing Nigeria in several international tournaments.
She showcased her talent in the 2010 Under-17 Women’s World Cup, the 2010 WAFCON, the 2012 FIFA Under-20 World Cup, as well as the 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2022 WAFCON tournaments. Additionally, she made appearances in the 2015 and 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
Despite her impressive track record, Ngozi was notably excluded from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup squad by former coach Randy Waldrum. Since then, she has not made a return to the national team.
