By the time the World Cup in 2015 came along, it was like I was always eager to play. I loved playing the big tournaments -- the World Cup and the Olympics. I loved being there and seeing the crowd cheering me on, watching me doing my best and doing what I love the most.

It is a dream come true for me. I have dreamed of playing here for a long time, and when I saw the draw and knew that we would be playing at Old Trafford, I wanted to play, and I prayed to God to get an opportunity to play. So I got it, and I'm happy I played here.

I wanted to be playing with the best players in the world and learn a different style of the game. I’ve found another way to enjoy football. I’ve fallen in love with football again.

It feels great to return home playing again on African soil.

Playing in France has been good. I feel very welcome here. I've been happy since I got here and things have really improved compared to the other places that I've played in in Europe. It all started in New Zealand though. Playing there in a FIFA-organised tournament was a great platform for me. The experience was very good and I thought if I could play at this level, I could play at the World Cup. I told myself: 'Why not go all the way?

We are grateful for this unexpected gesture because for several years we’ve been winning the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (Wafcon) and I can’t remember us being honoured or rewarded this way,

It's a game i will forever cherish, it was a great moment for me as a player and as a person. Representing your country and reciting the national anthem for everyone to see is a feeling that you cannot describe, and i give thanks to God.

I feel incredibly blessed that I have been given a great opportunity to display how much I love what I do and I look forward to having a great night celebrating our musicians on the largest music platform in Africa.

I just want to use this great opportunity to say a very great thank you to the organisers and also for remembering the female goalkeeper this year,

"This was for my tennis and I think it was a long time coming and I’m very honoured … We did nothing but play for our nation".

It’s an honour for me to be here and be an Inter player. I’d like to thank everyone for the welcome I’ve been given, I can’t wait to start.

I am happy with the return of the National Sports Festival, after an absence of six years, because this is is an avenue from where we can spot future talents.

I’ve been dreaming to play in a league like this since I was a kid. I’ve been dreaming of this moment and I’m so happy to be here. But it doesn’t stop here, I want to keep going.

I want to thank the Cameroonian team and the coach for giving us a good game. It was a great final to watch seeing the best two teams in Africa competing.
