AFCON 2025
Super Falcons of Nigeria star Ashleigh Plumptre has again gone viral on social media.
The 26-year-old continues to make waves while in the Saudi Arabia women’s professional league.
After suffering a severe injury to her right foot earlier this year, Plumptre had surgery.
The Nigerian international returned to football for Al-Ittihad in a league match against Al-Ula after weeks of training.

During the recent international break, Plumptre was not called up for the Super Falcons of Nigeria double header friendly against the Green Ladies of Algeria.
The Super Falcons comfortably won the first leg 2-0 and the second leg 4-1.
Plumptre however used the opportunity to reconnect with her mother in Jeddah.
She took to social media to post pictures with her mother with a message that said, “Mum and daughter time in Jeddah.”
Plumptre did not play for the Super Falcons in the women’s football competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, due to the injury.
But with her recent form she is expected to make a return to the national team soon.
