<br>The Super Falcons may have found a promising defensive talent in 17 year old Marie Okoroh, a dual national central defender currently playing for SpVg Aurich in Germany. Born in 2007, Okoroh is eligible to represent Nigeria internationally through her Nigerian father. She has made a name for herself in Germany, having captained SpVg Aurich's U17 team to the semi finals of the German football championships.
<br>
<br>Given the Super Falcons' need for defensive reinforcements, Okoroh could be a valuable addition to the national team. If she joins, she would benefit from being mentored by veteran Osinachi Ohale and Galatasaray's Tosin Demehin, with the potential to form a future defensive partnership.

<br>Marie Okoroh’s potential as a dual-national defender is a golden opportunity for the Super Falcons to strengthen their defence. Her impressive performances at just 17 years old make her a prime candidate for Nigeria's national team, especially considering her versatility and commanding presence on the pitch.
<br>
<br>Despite her team’s defeat to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the semi finals, Okoroh’s performances have drawn attention. Known for her [commanding](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:RoyceMunz429) presence on the field, Okoroh’s physicality and aerial threat make her a standout central defender. Not yet capped by Germany at any level, Okoroh is free to [represent Nigeria](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/genoa-defender-confesses-dilemma-between-representing-nigeria-or-italy/) without needing a change of association.
<br>
<br>We believe that the Nigerian Football [Federation](https://wiki-staging.jgtitleco.com/index.php?title=User:KristianEspie30) should move swiftly to secure Okoroh’s [commitment](http://adverpedia.org/index.php?title=User:LakeishaWoollaco) to the Super Falcons. Her addition would not only provide depth but also offer a long term solution for the team’s defensive needs. With experienced players like Osinachi Ohale guiding her, Okoroh could develop into a key figure for Nigeria’s future success on the international stage.

<br>Okoroh’s eligibility presents an exciting prospect for Nigerian women’s football, and it will be fascinating to see how her career unfolds.
