Super Falcons' Deborah Abiodun Undergoes Hip Surgery
Deborah Abiodun, a 22-year-old midfielder for the Super Falcons, successfully underwent hip surgery on September 18, which ended her 2026 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season with Washington Spirit. Abiodun confirmed the surgery via an Instagram post, sharing her experience and encouraging younger players facing similar setbacks.
Washington Spirit placed her on the season-ending injury list on September 7 after initially listing her on the 45-day injury list. Abiodun last played on August 23 in a match against Orlando Pride, making nine appearances this season, including four starts, totaling 320 minutes on the pitch.
She joined Washington Spirit in January 2025, accumulating 21 appearances, one goal, and one assist. The injury will prevent her from participating in the Super Falcons’ second-round 2028 Olympic qualifiers against Comoros on October 9 and 13.
Depending on her recovery, she may return if Nigeria advances to the third round scheduled for February 23 to March 6, 2027.
