Nigerian forward Joy Omewa continues to justify her maiden Super Falcons call-up after scoring once again to help Fortuna Hjørring secure a hard-fought 2-2 draw against FC Nordsjælland in their Danish A-Liga Round 10 clash on Saturday afternoon.
Fresh from being named in Justine Madugu’s 21-woman Super Falcons squad for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) qualifiers, Omewa showed why she deserves her place among Nigeria’s elite, Footballrover reports.
Joy Omewa: Super Falcons Invitee Extends Hot Scoring Form
The 22-year-old forward struck in the 66th minute, restoring Fortuna’s lead with a composed finish after timing her run perfectly inside the box.
Though Nordsjælland later equalised through Anna Walter, Omewa’s influence remained unmistakable — her eighth consecutive scoring performance in all competitions.
The goal brings Joy Omewa’s tally to 15 goals this season—eight in the Danish A-Liga and seven in European competitions.
Just days ago, the former Confluence Queens striker celebrated her 100th appearance for Fortuna Hjørring, marking the occasion with a winning goal in the UEFA Women’s Europa Cup victory over Vorskla Poltava.
Now, she’s following that up with another vital strike — proving her consistency, composure, and confidence in front of goal.
Omewa’s Rising Stock Ahead of WAFCON Qualifiers
With her first senior national-team call-up secured, Omewa’s form couldn’t have come at a better time.
The Super Falcons face Benin Republic later this month in the WAFCON qualifying series, with the tie also serving as a pathway to the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
Her recent performances for Fortuna Hjørring show she’s more than ready to compete at the international level — combining sharp instincts with clinical finishing and an ability to deliver when it matters most.
Despite dropping points late in the match, Fortuna Hjørring remain unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions — five wins and two draws — keeping pace with league leaders HB Køge.
