The award was presented to her during Tenerife’s training session, with her teammates celebrating the achievement. Liga F announced her recognition on X (formerly Twitter), acknowledging her as the EA Sports FC Player of the Month.
So far this season, Monday has scored 10 goals in 18 matches, helping Tenerife secure sixth place in the Liga F standings. She is currently third in the league’s goal-scoring chart, trailing Barcelona’s Ewa Pajor by five goals and Edna Imade by two.
Having joined Tenerife in 2022 from FC Robo, she recently extended her contract until 2027, marking her commitment to the club.
Editorial
Gift Monday’s rise in Spanish football is another major win for Nigerian women’s football. Her recent performances not only highlight her goal-scoring ability but also show that Nigerian talents are making waves in European club football.
Following in the footsteps of Rasheedat Ajibade, Monday is proving that Super Falcons players can excel in Spain’s highly competitive Liga F. With Nigeria preparing for major international tournaments, her form will be a massive boost for the national team.
This award could also open doors for a bigger move in the future, as top clubs in Spain and Europe will likely take notice of her performances. If she maintains this level, a move to a Champions League-contending side could be on the horizon.
