Osinachi Ohale Joins Como 1907 After Leaving Pachuca

Osinachi Ohale, a 34-year-old former centre-back for the Super Falcons, has signed with Italian women's club Como 1907 on a permanent free transfer after concluding her three-year tenure with Mexican club Pachuca. During her time at Pachuca, Ohale made 81 league appearances and scored six goals.

This transfer marks her return to Italian football, having previously played for AS Roma in 2020. Ohale expressed her excitement about rejoining Italy and her readiness to follow the coach's directives to support the team.

Como’s women’s technical director, Nils Nielsen, emphasized the significance of Ohale’s experience, noting her long international career with Nigeria, including her role as captain and her strengths in defensive positioning, marking, and aerial ability. Ohale turned professional in Nigeria in 2008 and has played in various countries, including the United States, Sweden, Spain, and Mexico.

She announced her retirement from international football last month after a successful career, which included five Women’s Africa Cup of Nations titles.
