BREAKING NEWS🚨📰

NIGERIA 🇳🇬 ON THE VERGE OF LOSING EDNA IMADE TO THE SPAINISH WOMENS NATIONAL TEAM

Edna Imade, the Liga F's🇪🇸 most popular striker and Granada CF's leading scorer with 13 goals and 1 assist this season, was interviewed yesterday afternoon on the program Lo de los Lunes, hosted by Andrea Menéndez and featuring Juan Camilo, Celia Arderius, Mario Cuervo, Cristina Medina, Lidia López, and Lucía Jiménez.

One of the audience's biggest concerns was what Edna's future will be at the international level. The Granada-born footballer could be selected by Spain 🇪🇸 or Nigeria 🇳🇬, and in the last Spanish national team call-up, Montse Tomé stated that her inclusion for the next two matches against Portugal had not been finalized due to a bureaucratic issue.

“It's a bit painful, not because I didn't deserve it, but because of bureaucratic issues. I would have liked to be there, but it wasn't possible, and I have to keep working, and at some point it will happen,” declared the forward, clearly interested in wearing the red jersey and being the differential striker the national team has been seeking for so long on the eve of the European Championship in Switzerland this summer. “I think I can contribute aerial play, power, speed, and any other qualities I have. If they call me, I'll try to bring them to the team.”

Granada is fifth in the Liga F standings with 36 points, to which Edna has contributed 13 goals. Despite the fact that, as she said in the same interview, her goal at the start of the season was to score 6, numbers that put her on the radar of sporting directors around the world. However, she has one more year left on her contract: “I have one more season here and I don't want to talk about the future. I want to leave the team at the top of my game and score as many goals as possible to help the team.”

NWSL confirms investigation into Bay FC coaching staff

Jeff Kassouf
Mar 7, 2025, 12:46 PM ET



An investigation has been opened into the technical staff of Bay FC, National Women's Soccer League commissioner Jessica Berman confirmed on Friday.

The San Francisco Chronicle first reported on Friday that two former Bay FC players described the culture under head coach Albertin Montoya as "toxic." The report also said the league was made aware of one formal complaint in which a player said she had experienced "bullying" by Montoya.

"A review is underway by an independent third party, and we're very confident that the system we have in place will ensure that we surface the issues that need to be addressed, and that we'll continue to work with all of our clubs, our technical staff and our players to make sure that we're achieving our goal of creating a safe, healthy working environment," Berman said.

The news comes just weeks after the NWSL reached a $5 million settlement with the attorneys general from New York, Illinois and Washington, D.C., to close ongoing investigations and compensate mistreated athletes following a wave of "systemic" abuse uncovered by a pair of reports conducted in 2022.

The settlement, which Berman referenced throughout answers to repeated questions about investigations and team cultures in a 25-minute news conference on Friday ahead of the new season, also requires the NWSL to provide the results of annual anonymous player surveys to the attorneys general.

Berman, who became commissioner in early 2022 and has a legal background, said on Friday that complaints being raised are a sign that the new system is working. She said multiple times that these procedures and inquires are "commonplace in most work environments." She also emphasized that investigations do not equate to assumptions of guilt.

"You want to facilitate an environment where people can come forward without a predetermined conclusion that it means that there's been a violation, that there's going to be discipline," Berman said. "Once you have an environment where people come forward and think that's the assumption, it actually deters people from raising proactive concerns."

Montoya was hired to be the first head coach of Bay FC ahead of its 2024 expansion season, emerging late in the process as the choice after a global search put forward other candidates.

Montoya is a respected coach in the Bay Area with decades of experience in the youth landscape, with additional experience in the NWSL and the now defunct WPS, where he won a league title. The Chronicle reported that Montoya has a long-standing relationship with Bay FC majority owner Alan Waxman through the Mountain View Los Altos Soccer Club, a top youth program in the Bay Area.

"I don't actually think having familiarity or knowledge of a coach and his or her experience in the youth space is in and of itself a problem," Berman said, referencing other work environments where familiarity plays a role in hiring.

Bay FC struggled through the early part of its expansion season before general manager Lucy Rushton abruptly resigned in June, less than halfway through the team's first season. The team improved to make the expanded eight-team playoff field and narrowly lost in the quarterfinals.

Berman did not explicitly say whether the results of the investigation would be made public.

Last year, the San Diego Wave came under scrutiny after allegations from a former employee that the club, led by then team president Jill Ellis, created a toxic work environment. The Wave quickly refuted those allegations and a few weeks later, Ellis filed a defamation lawsuit. The league said after the fact that it had already concluded third-party investigations into the team and cleared it of wrongdoing.

Six former employees are suing the Wave and the NWSL for multiple forms of discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation and wrongful termination.

"On a case-by-case basis, depending on what we learn and what the situation is that we're navigating, we have to make a judgment call about our macro goals and the specific circumstances that we have in front of us, and that's what we'll continue to do," Berman said on Friday about the league's choices around what to make public.

Bay FC also recently hired Graeme Abel as a head scout despite allegations of abuse in his most recent job as head coach of the University of Oregon's women's soccer team. A week after Abel was announced, and following significant backlash, he resigned from the role.

Abel had worked with Bay FC sporting director Matt Potter in several previous jobs, including at U.S. Soccer.

Why?? Except they are paying her a ridiculous amount, this doesn't make any sense. Why leave champions league football to a bottom team in England?

This rumour can’t be found any were yet among the top Women’s football platforms that post updates on transfer and the rest…

But again Everton is a Mid table team in the WSL and they have invested a lot in the Women’s section..

I have been watching both Washington Spirit and Dallas Trinity all season and there is no reason why Deborah Abiodun should be on loan. Not only has she been performing very well, the team she left can't put together 3 es.

It appears we'll see the Super Falcons play soon.

According to Samuel Ahmadu on X

"Hope rekindled! 🤞 The Super Falcons now have a date with the Central African giants. I was anxious and frustrated waiting to see my ladies regroup — but now, the 10th-title chase is back on track, and preparations can resume in full throttle!"

Rasheedat Ajibade in a documentary video with Togethxr that also featured Asisasat Oshoala said something that aptly captures the state of women's football in Nigeria. She said

"They say to whom much is given much is expected, but as Nigerians, to whom nothing is given a lot is expected".

Quite sad to be honest.
