Nigerian Ohale signs for Como on free transfer after Pachuca exit

Ohale, 34, former Super Falcons defender, has joined Italian Serie B club Como 1907 on a free transfer after leaving Mexican club Pachuca, where she made 81 league appearances and scored six goals over three years. She previously played for AS Roma in Italy in 2020. The transfer was announced on October 9, 2026, by sports journalist Mike Oyebola, citing Como's official website.

This move highlights a pathway for Nigerian women footballers to secure contracts in Europe, especially as Ohale returns to Italy at age 34, showing experience is valued. It also adds depth to Como's defense for the upcoming season.

Ohale expressed enthusiasm to help the team under the coach's instructions. For aspiring Nigerian female players, her journey illustrates that transfers can happen via free agents and that leagues like Mexico's Liga MX Femenil and Italy's Serie B are viable stepping stones. Fans can follow her debut with Como via the club's official website or social media.
