Sunday Oliseh reveals how he met Moroccan wife Hafida in 1994

Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has revealed how he met his Moroccan wife, Hafida, in 1994.

Oliseh, who has been married to Hafida for more than three decades, recalled meeting her while he went to buy a CD in Tong, about 30 minutes from where he lived.

Speaking in an interview with The Play Zone, the former midfielder said he noticed Hafida when she entered the shop while he was browsing R and B music.

“The Moroccan woman I married then was about the best option I have then. I go buy CD for Tong that is 30 minutes away from my place, it was during the summer,” Oliseh said.

“Then one beautiful lady just enter the place and I was checking R and B music and rain was falling and she was riding bicycle because raining was failing she could not ride the bicycle so she stopped to look music.

“Then I saw her and I said to myself that this one can’t go. Then I said to her how come you’re this beautiful.”

Oliseh and Hafida have been together since 1994 and have two children, Denzel and Shanice.

Oliseh, who played for clubs including Ajax, Juventus and Borussia Dortmund, represented Nigeria at the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups.

He was also part of the Nigerian team that won the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations and the 1996 Olympic football gold medal in Atlanta.

The 52-year-old later went into coaching and served as head coach of the Super Eagles from 2015 to 2016.
