“Michelle Alozie, the talented Super Falcons defender, has been nominated for the prestigious Houstonian of the Year award, recognizing her outstanding achievements in football and beyond.

A key player for the Nigerian women’s national team, Alozie made history by playing every minute of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup. But her impact extends far beyond the football field. By day, she works as a pediatric cancer research technician at Texas Children’s Hospital, studying acute leukemia and cancer.

Alozie’s journey to becoming a Super Falcons player is a fascinating one. Discovered by Coach Randy Waldrum due to visa issues, she has since become an integral part of the team.

With her remarkable skills, passion, and dedication, Michelle Alozie is an inspiration to many. This nomination is just the beginning of her recognition, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this talented athlete and medical researcher.”
