Ex-Super Falcons goalkeeper Precious Dede’s sister welcomes quadruplets

Former Super Falcons goalkeeper Precious Dede has joined family and friends in celebrating her younger sister, Ify, following the birth of quadruplets.

The 46-year-old announced the news on Sunday via her Facebook page, describing the arrival as a long-awaited miracle.

“After many years of waiting, God showed up in the most beautiful way — four precious blessings at once. Double the boys, double the girls, quadruple the joy.

“Our hearts are full beyond words. Years of prayers, tears and hope have now turned into four miracles. God is faithful. From waiting to overflowing. One pregnancy, four heartbeats. Endless joy. Proof that delay is not denial. He turned our waiting into wonders.

“When God writes your story, He makes it beautiful in His time. God didn’t just answer, He overdelivered. Congratulations to my family,” she wrote.

Dede enjoyed a distinguished international career, representing Nigeria at four FIFA Women’s World Cup tournaments in 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2015. She also featured in three Women’s Olympic Football Tournaments in 2000, 2004 and 2008.

On the African stage, she competed in several Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournaments, winning the title in 2010 and again in 2014.

After retiring from professional football in 2016, Dede transitioned into coaching and administration, earning a CAF C coaching licence in 2024.

In November 2025, she was appointed Women’s Football Development Manager by the West Africa Football Union Zone B (WAFU-B), continuing her contribution to the growth of the women’s game in the region.
