Super Falcons Hopeful Suliyat Abideen: Ready to Build on Impressive Uefa Champions League Debut

Nigeria female Zinedine Zidane Suliyat Abideen is working hard to build on her impressive UEFA Champions League debut in her team's emphatic 3:1 win against Kiryat Gat of Israel earlier this month.

That win set up her Turkish team ABB Fomget for the tasty Tournament 7 round encounter against Slavia Prague on the 27th of August.

Since moving from Edo Queens to Fomget last season, Suliyat has taken the Turkish league by storm, being one of an elite group of players to score a hat-trick in the league, when she did so against Bornova Hitab.

Her goals contributed to the goals that helped the club win the league title ahead of heavy-hitters Fenerbahçe, Beşiktaş, and Galatasaray. Hence qualifying them for the Uefa Champions League qualification tournaments.

In their Champions League qualifier against Kiryat Gat of Israel, Suliyat came in as a substitute, playing a total of 64 minutes in midfield.

The playmaker played deeper, winning possession, shelling out passes, deterring incursions and dominating her area in an all-round compelling display.

Her chances of making the starting 11 against Slavia Prague next week was enhanced by her professionalism and application in the last encounter.

Suliyat"s profile was already high going by how she contributed to Edo Queens' domestic and sub-continental success before moving to Turkey.

She continues to go from strength to strength. Super Falcons breakthrough should not be long in coming.
