There is a question that many football fans have been asking in the past one month;
”Where is Courtney Dike?”
Courtney Dike played for Nigeria at the 2014 Under 20 Women’s World Cup. The Falconets came second in the competition.
She made headlines when she declined the cash reward that the Federal Government gave to the players. She was playing for Oklahoma State University (Cowgirls) at the time and the rules of the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) in America prohibit athletes that are playing in the NCAA leagues from receiving cash rewards for taking part in sports competitions.
Courtney also played for Nigeria at the 2015 Women’s World Cup, then it seemed like she just disappeared. She was not part of the Super Falcons team that won the 2016 AWCON. She resurfaced last year to play for Nigeria in a friendly match against France, then she disappeared again.
She was invited by Coach Dennerby to be a part of the Super Falcons team at the 2018 AWCON, but she never showed up at the camp and no reason was given for her absence.
I was also wondering what’s happening to her because I expected her to play in the National Women’s Soccer League after graduating from Oklahoma State University, but I didn’t hear any news of her signing for any club.
Well, here’s the answer. She is now a Certified Public Accountant. She was probably working to qualify for her CPA license and that’s probably why she couldn’t make it to camp.
Congratulations to her.
