Houston Dash congratulate Alozie on FIFPRO Nomination

The Houston Dash, a club in the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), have congratulated Michelle Alozie following her nomination for the 2025 FIFPRO Women’s World XI. The Nigerian defender was among the 26 players shortlisted for the global recognition.

The American club took to their official Facebook page to celebrate the Super Falcons star, writing:

“Congratulations to Michelle Alozie for being named to the @FIFPRO Women’s World XI shortlist.”

Alozie, 28, has continued to shine on both the local and international stage. She was one of Nigeria’s standout performers during the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, where she played a key role in helping the Super Falcons reach the final stages of the tournament.

Her outstanding form earned her a place in the Team of the Tournament, alongside fellow Nigerian stars Rasheedat Ajibade and Esther Okoronkwo. This recognition further solidifies Alozie’s reputation as one of Africa’s top defenders and a growing influence in women’s football globally.

Fans and teammates have since flooded social media with messages of pride and support, celebrating her continued rise and contributions to both Houston Dash and the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
