Ngozi Ebere (born 5 August 1991) is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a defender for Paris Saint-Germain in the Division 1 Féminine, and internationally for the Nigeria women's national football team. She was a member of the Rivers Angels who won the Nigerian domestic double in 2014, and the Nigerian national women's team who won the 2014 African Women's Championship.

Career

Club

In 2014, Ngozi Ebere was part of the Nigerian domestic team Rivers Angels who won the Nigerian Women Football League and Nigeria Federation Cup double. During the course of the season, Ebere scored seven goals including the third and final goal on the final match of the season in the 3-1 victory over Sunshine Queens.[3]

Ebere was signed by the French team Paris Saint-Germain in September 2015 on a two year contract. She said at the time, "I am here to give the best of myself and to win trophies, I am very motivated by this new challenge that awaits me here in Paris. It’s a dream come true." She made her debut in a Division 1 Féminine match against Olympique Lyonnais on 27 September 2015.[4] Two months later, she was placed on the five person shortlist for African Women's Footballer of the Year; she suggested that this nomination came as a result of her recent performances.[5] During the course of her first season, she played in eight matches; six in the Division 1 Féminine and two in the Coupe de France Féminine.[6]

International

She was part of the Nigeria women's national football team squads at the African Women's Championship in 2012 and the winning team of 2014. She was also in the squad at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.[7]
