Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to go deeper into my own identity’- -English born Ashleigh Plumptre hails Super Falcons outing at Women’s World Cup

Ashleigh Plumptre has said she is proud of the Super Falcons display at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Plumptre was born and bred in England but qualifies to play for Nigeria through her paternal grandfather who is originally from Lagos Nigeria.

She made four appearances at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

The Super Falcons lost 4-2 on penalties to England at the Round of 16 stage on Monday August 7.

Despite the defeat, Plumptre took to Twitter to hail the team’s performance and reflect on the opportunity to explore her Nigerian heritage.

“Incredibly grateful for the opportunity to go deeper into my own identity, learn more about what it means to be “Naija spirit” and to showcase to the World what a unified, determined and empowered group of women are capable of achieving. Proud to be a Super Falcon,” she tweeted on Wednesday night, August 9.
