Super Falcons defender Glory Ogbonna has confirmed her departure from Turkish club Beลiktaล at the conclusion of her contract.
The Nigeria international joined Beลiktaล midway through the 2022โ23 season, following spells in Sweden and with ALG Spor. Over the last two seasons, she featured in 28 league outings, scoring once, and was widely praised for her defensive contributions during Nigeriaโs Womenโs World Cup campaign.
Ogbonna told local media that she is grateful for the experience, stating the fans, teammates and staff had supported her growth both on and off the pitch. While she has not yet revealed her next destination, the defender hinted that new opportunities will soon be unveiled.
Editorial
We believe Glory Ogbonna has timed her exit from Beลiktaล with impeccable timing. When a player departs following consistent performances, it represents both respect for past achievement and ambition for what lies ahead. Her gratitude towards the club underscores maturity and professionalism that should serve as a model for others.

We acknowledge the challenge she now faces transitioning to a new league, team and perhaps culture. However, her adaptability, already proven through successful spells in Sweden, Spain and Turkey, suggests she is more than capable of flourishing wherever she lands next.
We appreciate that her departure could leave a vacancy in Beลiktaล’s backline, but it will also free her to take on fresh challenges, whether in Europe or beyond. If her pattern of growth continues, there is every chance she will join a bigger stage, perhaps in a more competitive league.
We call on Nigerian football stakeholders clubs, agents and the NFF to support her journey. Gloryโs career is a testament to Nigerian resilience and versatility abroad. As she embarks on her next chapter, we reassert our belief fruitful departures often signal even more triumphant arrivals.
