Super Falcons star Deborah Abiodun met with American streamer iShowSpeed and challenged him to a ball juggling contest with a loser-pays reward.

CAF Online listed her as one of the youngsters to watch at the tournament, and she did not disappoint, helping her team with a record-extending 10th title.
She returned to the United States after an extended holiday in Nigeria, during which she hung out with Asisat Oshoala and Oluwatosin Demehin.
Abiodun, on return to the US, was recalled to Washington Spirits after a short loan spell at Dallas Trinity and made her NWSL debut against Chicago Stars on September 1, 2025.
Deborah Abiodun meets iShowSpeed
As seen in a video shared on X, the midfielder met with popular American streamer iShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr.
Abiodun asked Speed if he had been to Nigeria, which he had not, and she challenged him to a ball juggling contest, which, if she wins, he has to come to Nigeria.
The Ronaldo fanboy claimed that the challenge was void because he had a trip to Nigeria planned before the end of the year, with Lagos certainly his first point of call.
Expectedly, the footballer won the challenge, beating the streamers 15, before both exchanged pleasantries and parted ways. She earned credits from fans for putting Nigeria first in her discussion with Speed.

“If she was following speed she’ll know he was going to come to Nigeria. She could have told him to react to one of the falcons matches during one of his streams if she won the juggling, that would have opened them to new audiences but this one no still bad.”

“Yes, he was going to do an African tour but stopped because some of the countries didn’t have starlink. So I think now they have it so he will come.”
