Michelle Alozie Selected for Routine Doping Test After Woman-of-the-Match Display Against Zambia

Michelle Alozie Selected for Routine Doping Test After Woman-of-the-Match Display Against Zambia — 1 of 2
1 / 2

Michelle Alozie was named Woman of the Match after Nigeria's 1-0 win over Zambia at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. The Super Falcons defender was selected for a routine post-match anti-doping test, which meant she had to remain at the stadium after her teammates left. Alozie later confirmed the test in a video. CAF praised her display as “composed, confident and complete” as Nigeria revived their title defence.

Does anyone know how routine post-match selections are handled at this tournament, especially after a player has just received Woman of the Match?

Exactly, the selection can be routine, so it is worth separating standard procedure from any bigger assumptions.

Alozie had a big night in Nigeria's win, and the test meant an even longer evening at the stadium after the final whistle.

Was the test part of the usual post-match selection process, or was there a specific reason given?

The timing may sound dramatic, but the description says it was routine, so it should not be treated as a suggestion of wrongdoing.

The team can simply focus on recovery and the next match while the standard anti-doping process runs its course.
