"They are more matured and experienced now having been given needed exposure by the Swedish FA to various National teams".


Peter ljeh, says that his daughters, Eveyln and Josephine, possess some skills similar to his and can be great in their football careers.


"They are talented and they can still play for Nigeria since they haven't officially featured in the Swedish senior national team.

“I still hope my two daughters will get invited to the Super Falcons squad at the same time again" Ijeh, a former Malmo FF and IFK Gotenburg striker who played five times for the Super Eagles stated".
