Super Falcons midfielder Christy Ucheibe is delighted after her club, Benfica Feminino, won a quadruple of titles in the 2023/24 season.

It is a season to remember for the 23-year-old, who featured in 11 UEFA Women’s Champions League games with a goal to her name and also helped her club win the Campeonato Nacional, Taça de Portugal, and Taça da Liga, in addition to the Campeonato Nacional II Divisão.

She celebrated the feat in a statement on her Instagram page on Sunday, posing with one of the trophies.

“God is not done with me yet; it is a quadruple—too many blessings in one season. Believe and trust in God; he will always come through for you. Four years of waiting with this incredible team, and today we did it,” the Abia-born midfielder , who joined Benfica in 2020 and has scored four goals in 68 appearances for them, stated.

She started her professional career with Nasarawa Amazons in 2018 and joined Assi IF after just one season with the Nigeria Women’s Football League outfit.

Ucheibe represented Nigeria at the U-17 and U-20 levels before being promoted to the Super Falcons, where she has scored once in 61 matches since 2022.
