‘My mother wanted me married, not playing football’ — U-17 captain Harmony Chidi
Nigeria’s U-17 captain, Harmony Chidi, has revealed that her mother opposed her football ambition and wanted her to get married instead of pursuing a career in the sport.
Chidi said her grandmother was the only person who encouraged her to play football despite her mother’s disapproval, adding that the woman has since passed away.
“When I started football, my mama didn’t allow me play, she didn’t want me playing football, she wanted me to get married. Only my grandma encouraged me and now my grandma is no more, it’s just me and my mum now,” she said.
