'I love food so much' - Super Falcons star Ashleigh Plumptre

Super Falcons defender Ashleigh Plumptre has revealed her love for food and nature, sharing how she unwinds and treats herself after intense games and training sessions.

Speaking in the aftermath of Nigeria’s historic 10th WAFCON title and the team’s honour by President Bola Tinubu, Plumptre reflected self-love.

In a candid reflection, the 27-year-old expressed how much she values peace, solitude, and self-care, with good food taking a central role in her recovery routine.

The former Leicester defender shared how she relaxes and rewards herself after strenuous matches or training.

“I like to treat myself after a tough match or training session. I like peace. I like to spend time with myself. I like to be in nature; I love food so much, so I treat myself to really nice food, good music, and being in nature. I like the sun by the beach or any kind of nature; greenery, mountains, or anything of the sort,” Plumptre said via Nigerian Tribune.

Plumptre, a central defender for the Super Falcons, continues to inspire a new generation of Nigerian girls with her performance, contributing to their 10th WAFCON title in Morocco.

Following the win, President Bola Tinubu rewarded each Super Falcons player with $100,000 and a three-bedroom apartment in Abuja's Renewed Hope Estate.
