Onyinyechi Salome Zogg, a Swiss-Nigerian footballer, recently caused a stir among fans as she featured in a promotional campaign for Adidas, showcasing Spain’s Olympic jersey. Zogg, who hails from Switzerland with Nigerian heritage, has been making waves since her debut for the Super Falcons in 2021 and currently plies her trade with Servette FC Chenois Feminin in Switzerland.

In her latest collaboration with Adidas, the 27-year-old defender shared photos on Instagram flaunting the Spain Olympic kit, drawing attention from football enthusiasts. However, some Nigerian fans speculated whether her participation in the campaign signaled a potential switch of allegiance to Spain’s national team over Nigeria’s.

Zogg swiftly put these speculations to rest, affirming her commitment to the Nigerian team and clarifying that her involvement with Adidas was purely for modeling purposes.

Despite her promising debut in 2021, Zogg’s appearances for the Super Falcons have been limited, partly due to injuries sustained in 2022. Nonetheless, head coach Randy Waldrun has expressed keen interest in integrating her into the team, highlighting her as a player worthy of investment.

Zogg’s football journey has seen her traverse clubs like Zurich, ASJ Soyaux, Turbine Potsdam, and her current stint at Servette FCCF, showcasing her talent and resilience on the field.
