Ijamilusi: From FC Robo rookie to Super Falcons star<\/h4>\n

The youngster departs from Edo Queens after enjoying a highly successful spell with the reigning Nigerian Women\u2019s Football League (NWFL) champions.<\/p>\n

The prolific striker played a pivotal role as Edo Queens\u2019 lifted the domestic title<\/a> for the first time in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Ijamilusi was also influential as the Benin-based club put together an impressive continental run, where they reached the semi-finals<\/a> of the CAF Women\u2019s Champions League.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old was the NWFL\u2019s top scorer last season, netting eight goals to fire Edo Queens to their maiden league title.<\/p>\n

She also shone in the club\u2019s successful West Africa Zone B (WAFU-B) Women\u2019s Champions League campaign, helping them lift the regional trophy<\/a> in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire before starring in their CAF Women\u2019s Champions League debut in Morocco.<\/p>\n

Ijamilusi made an instant impact on the continental stage, scoring in Edo Queens\u2019 opening 3-0 victory against CBE FC. She was ever-present throughout their Champions League journey before their heartbreaking semi-final defeat to TP Mazembe.<\/p>\n

Her exceptional performances earned her a well-deserved call-up to the Nigerian national team, where she announced herself in stunning fashion.<\/p>\n

On her Super Falcons debut, Ijamilusi netted a sensational hat-trick in a friendly against Algeria, helping Nigeria secure a commanding 4-1 win<\/a> in the second leg of their double-header.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
