[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Three Nigerian players played pivotal roles as Zamalek secured an exciting 3-2 over Modern in the Egypt Women’s Premier League. [Yetunde Fajobi](https://keeperverse.com/index.php/User:KatlynDanforth6) stole the spotlight with a brace, while Cynthia Onyedikachi also found the net to help [Zamalek](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/bayern-munich-activate-release-clause-for-granada-striker-edna-imade/) edge past their opponents.

<br>Modern fought back with goals from Hiyam Abdel Hafeez and Nigerian forward Yemisi Samuel, but their efforts were not enough to deny Zamalek the win. Fajobi’s impressive performance saw her move up to second place in the league’s top scorer race, bringing her tally to 23 goals three behind Sandrine Niyonkuru, the former FC Masar striker.

<br>The victory keeps Zamalek in fourth place with 46 points, trailing table-toppers FC Masar by nine points. Al Ahly, with 52 points, and Wadi Degla, with 48, sit in second and third place, respectively, as the league approaches its final stretch.

<br>Editorial
<br>
<br>The [growing influence](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/benjamin-boldly-backs-flying-eagles-ahead-of-morocco-clash/) of Nigerian footballers in leagues across the world is a testament to the nation’s rich footballing talent. The performance of Yetunde Fajobi, Cynthia Onyedikachi, and Yemisi Samuel in the Egypt Women’s Premier League highlights the impact Nigerian players are having beyond their homeland.
<br>
<br>Despite often facing challenges such as limited exposure and inadequate support at the [grassroots](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/health-and-fitness/) level, [Nigerian female](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:ChadUjc193981) footballers continue to shine on the international stage. This raises an important question: is enough being done to nurture and retain talent within Nigeria’s domestic league? The Nigeria Women’s Football League NWFL boasts exceptional players, yet many seek better opportunities abroad due to financial [instability](https://mediawiki.weopensoft.com/index.php/Utilisateur:SusanaDrennan) and lack of proper infrastructure at home.
<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
<br>The consistent success of Nigerian players in Egypt, Spain, France, and other leagues should serve as a wake-up call for Nigerian football administrators. Investing in women’s football at home will not only keep the best talents within the country but also improve the national team’s strength in future international tournaments.

<br>It is encouraging to see players like Fajobi pushing for personal accolades such as the Golden Boot, but her efforts should also remind us of the bigger picture. Nigerian football must create an environment where its female footballers thrive locally before seeking opportunities elsewhere. If that happens, the future of women’s football in Nigeria will be even brighter.
