Meet Victoria Ezebinyuo: SC Freiburg's 2019 Euro U17 winner eligible for Super Falcons
Published: April 18, 2024Stories of players transcending borders and embracing their heritage to represent different nations on the international stage are not uncommon.
Victoria Ezebinyuo, a promising talent, that embodies this narrative emerges as a standout figure in this editorial piece caught between her German roots and Nigerian heritage.
Born on January 28, 2002, in Ettenheim, Germany, Victoria Ezebinyuo is the offspring of a Nigerian father and a German mother.
From a young age, she honed her skills within the structured youth system of SC Freiburg.
Ezebinyuo's talent did not go unnoticed, as she swiftly ascended through the ranks of SC Freiburg's youth setup, showcasing her abilities as a versatile defender capable of contributing both defensively and offensively.
Her breakthrough on the domestic scene came as she starred for SC Freiburg's U17s.
Despite her German upbringing, Ezebinyuo's connection to her Nigerian heritage through her father presents her with the opportunity to represent the Super Falcons on the international stage if approached by the Nigerian Football Federation.
She was a member of Germany's 2019 European U17 winning squad, where she played in matches against England, Austria and Portugal during the tournament held in Bulgaria.
Ezebinyuo brings a certain level of pedigree to the table. Her inclusion in Nigeria's senior setup would not only bolster the team's defensive ranks but also inject a fresh dimension of skill, athleticism and youthful exuberance in an ageing Super Falcons defense.
While her club commitments remain paramount, the allure of international football beckons, offering Ezebinyuo the chance to represent her paternal roots and contribute to Nigeria's footballing legacy.
A resolute and no-nonsense defender by trade, the 22-year-old is a decent ball-playing defender whilst also offensively emerging as a potent threat in the opposition's box during set-pieces and corners.
