Nigeria's Under 17 captain, Harmony Chidi, has revealed that her mother did not want her to play football and wanted her to get married instead.

She said only her grandmother supported her, and that her grandmother has since died, leaving her and her mother as the only two at home.

Chidi also spoke about the hard times she has faced, including injuries and losing friends who stopped associating with her.

Despite this, she said she is inspired by players such as Victor Osimhen, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Raphinha and Super Falcons star Asisat Oshoala.

Her biggest goal is to go beyond what Oshoala has achieved.
