Trabzonspor midfielder Chioma Olise has publicly declared her full support for compatriot Paul Onuachu, praising the Nigerian striker's performances for the men's team. Olise, who joined Trabzonspor's women's team in February 2025 and is under contract until June 30, 2027, described Onuachu as a source of national pride. The men's team forward has scored 24 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions this season, with 22 of those coming in Super Lig matches. His tally puts him at the top of the Golden Boot race, two goals ahead of Basaksehir FK's Eldor Shomurodov. However, Onuachu has not scored in his last two games following a muscle injury that caused him to miss the match against Alanyaspor. Olise, a former Edo Queens player, represented Nigeria at the 2024 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup and made her senior national team debut in a friendly against Algeria in October 2024. In comments shared by CNN Turk and originally reported by Anadolu Agency, she said: "I support Onuachu 100% because he's a citizen of my country. Please keep scoring goals like this, he's my king. I support him with all my heart, body, and soul." She also expressed interest in meeting other Nigerian players at the club, naming Chibuike Nwaiwu and Anthony Nwakaeme.
