Super Falcons midfielder Jennifer Echegini says her hunger for success with Nigeria is stronger than ever. As reported by FootballInNigeria.com.ng, the Paris Saint-Germain star believes her World Cup, Olympics and WAFCON experiences have only raised her ambition.
Echegini says playing for the Super Falcons brings more responsibility than club football. The team carries the weight of a large fan base, a proud history and national expectation.
She called wearing Nigeria’s colours an honour and said she will be grateful for it forever. She doesn’t take for granted the privilege of representing millions of Nigerians.
Not Satisfied Yet
Despite her achievements, the 25 year old isn’t content. She has played at the Olympics and the World Cup and won WAFCON, yet she wants everything times ten. “I know I can give more,” she said.
Her goals aren’t about awards or pay. She doesn’t need to be the best player in the world or the highest paid, she says, but she wants to look back in five or ten years and feel fulfilled.

A Career Of Big Moments
Echegini scored the decisive goal in the WAFCON final against Morocco, as Nigeria came from behind to win 3-2 and claim a record tenth title.
She was also in Nigeria’s 18 woman squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics, and she was part of the group that reached the round of 16 at the 2023 World Cup.

Club Form And Transfer Interest
Echegini has been with PSG since July 2024, after a spell at Juventus. Her form has drawn interest from England, with bids from Chelsea and Manchester City both reportedly rejected over the past year.
The WAFCON-winning goal lifted her profile, and the interest hasn’t gone away. PSG, though, have shown no sign of letting her leave.
