Super Falcons’ defender, Osinachi Ohale, has taken a significant step in her football journey by joining Mexican club Pachuca Femeni, Soccernet.ng reports.

Moving to join the Mexican professional women’s football club based in Pachuca comes on the heels of her previous engagement with Spanish Iberdrola side Alaves.

The spotlight shone on Ohale during the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand, where her performances turned heads and caught the attention of several clubs.

The 31-year-old centre-back was a key figure in the Super Falcons’ campaign, featuring prominently in all four of the team’s matches throughout the tournament as she paired with Tosin Demehin to solidify the defence.

Among her standout moments was her remarkable goal in Nigeria’s exhilarating 3-2 triumph over Australia – a performance that not only contributed to the team’s success but also earned her the well-deserved title of Player of the Match.

Ohale brings a wealth of experience to her new venture, having plied her trade in various leagues across the globe, including Sweden, Spain, and Italy.

Her diverse skill set and adaptability are anticipated to significantly bolster Pachuca Femeni’s defensive capabilities as they gear up for the challenges that lie ahead in the competitive Mexican football league.

As Ohale embarks on this new chapter, the Nigerian football community and the world at large anticipates the impact she’ll make in her latest endeavour.
