Nigeria's U-17 women's football team captain, Harmony Chidi, has spoken candidly about the challenges she faced in her pursuit of the sport. In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, the Flamingos captain revealed that her mother initially disapproved of her playing football, instead urging her to marry. Chidi's only source of encouragement during her early career was her late grandmother.
The loss of this family member, Chidi explained, was one of the many personal struggles she endured on her path to success. Injuries also played a significant role in isolating her from friends and supporters. Despite these obstacles, Chidi credits her motivation to the top female footballers she admires. She expressed her wish to outperform them, specifically citing her desire to be greater than fellow Nigerian Asisat Oshoala.
