Afolabi’s rise to prominence began three seasons ago with Delta Queens. Her impressive performances quickly secured her a regular starting position and ultimately led to her being named team captain.
Her leadership was instrumental in Delta Queens’ 2023 NWFL Premiership triumph and their subsequent qualification for the WAFU B Champions League in Benin.
Afolabi first garnered national recognition during the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in India, where she played a pivotal role in the Flamingos’ historic third-place finish.
The team’s impressive run included victories over formidable opponents like the USA and Germany. One of Afolabi’s most memorable moments in the tournament was a stunning 25-yard goal against New Zealand, widely considered one of the best goals of the competition.
