MK Dons Women captain Favour Omenazu has officially declared her international allegiance to Nigeria, choosing to represent the Nigeria women’s national football team over England.

 

The highly-rated defender, who has been a key figure for Milton Keynes Dons F.C. Women, expressed pride and emotional connection in her decision to commit to the Super Falcons.

 

“It would be a proud moment because that’s where I am from, that’s where my family is from,” Omenazu said when asked about the possibility of wearing Nigeria’s green and white. “It would mean so much to give back to my heritage.”

 

Omenazu’s decision is seen as a significant boost for Nigeria as the Super Falcons continue to strengthen their squad with diaspora talents competing in Europe. Known for her leadership qualities and defensive solidity, the MK Dons skipper has earned praise for her consistency and maturity on the pitch.

 

Her declaration reflects a growing trend of dual-eligible players opting to represent their ancestral roots at the senior international level. For Nigeria, a nation with a rich history in women’s football, Omenazu’s commitment could add depth and stability to the defensive line.

 

With the Super Falcons preparing for upcoming international competitions, attention will now turn to when the defender could receive her first official call-up.

 

For Omenazu, however, the message is clear — her heart belongs to Nigeria.
