Ordega has been with the Super Falcons squad since 2010 and has so far made 26 appearances, scoring 12 goals.

The striker has helped Nigeria to win the African Women's Championship on four occasions, claiming it in 2010, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

In the early stages of her career, she featured for Bayelsa United and Rivers Angels before moving abroad to join Russian side Rossiyanka in a mouth-watering deal in 2012.

She also had a stint in the United States, playing for Washington Spirit before being shipped on loan to Sydney FC and later Atletico Madrid.

Ordega also featured for Chinese Women’s Super League side Shanghai Shengli and then Levante in Spain.

Live Sport reports that she currently plays for CSKA Moscow, having joined in 2021. So far, she has scored 12 league goals for the Spanish outfit in 27 matches.

As she clocks 30, the forward says she is getting even better with age:

“Like a fine wine, I am not old. I am getting better with age. I am vintage. Best wishes to me as I start a new year.
“Wishing myself a splendid birthday full of God’s amazing blessings.”

Ordega preparing for family life

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ordega disclosed that she could not wait to start having babies and begin her own family life.

Having returned home from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Ordega disclosed that she is considering having babies soon. She said:

“Four years? I think I will be pregnant, I think I will have my babies then. Four years, I might have babies. I love babies. I might really.”
