Hello Tolu,
As a member of the @FIFAcom Player’s Voice Panel among other legends, know that we are here to support you and others who have been subjected to racist abuse.
We will work to ensure that racism is stamped out of our game, no matter who it is from.
Stay strong
It’s still unbelievable to me that we’re playing in a time where people have so much freedom to communicate such racism without any consequences.
These individuals should have no place in our game and collectively we have to take action to punish everyone who taints the sport like this, no matter who they are.

The museum was flooded with famous faces last Thursday, as we toured EIGHT legends around our exhibition 🤩
As World Cup winners, three of the group took the opportunity to join our Wall of Champions - and to be reunited with their respective trophies👀
Briana Scurry (🇺🇸1999) and Aya Miyama (🇯🇵2011) proudly raised the FIFA Women's World Cup trophy, while Blaise Matuidi (🇫🇷2018) lifted the men's award 🏆t
Together with fellow legends Mercy Akide-Udoh (Nigeria), Lotta Schelin (Sweden), Maia Jackman (New Zealand), Jessica Houara-d’Hommeaux (France) and Juan Pablo Sorín (Argentina) the trio also enjoyed seeing objects or memorabilia from their respective careers during the tour.
It was wonderful to welcome the footballers, who were in Zurich as part of the Players’ Voice Panel 👏

My hope and prayer is that as Nigerian adults esp on WhatsApp, see more of these perverts get the treatment they deserve in countries with systems that work, they too will learn that every single time, the buck stops at the abuser’s door. Not the child’s. Never the child’s.
Goodbye 👋 Sofitel! 🫂
Our splendid stay came to an end at Sofitel Hotel as we moved into our new 🆕 residence, Marriott Hotel in Brisbane 🇦🇺 for our crucial #FIFAWWC last 16 tie with #Eng 🏴
#NGA| #SoarSuperFalcons
Very proud of @NGSuper_Falcons and their performance against Canada today. The work has just begun. Keep it going and let’s get to the knockout stage one game at a time
#FIFAWWC means #LifeChanging to me, because I will see many powerful women playing amazing soccer and it will change their lives, like it changed mine.
Only 100 days to go, don't miss it!

Goodbye to 2022, arguably the worst year in Nigeria sports history. May Nigeria sports fans never see the like again.
Can I hear an amen? https://t.co/hH2kCBx7Yl
