Discover the untold story of Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, one of Africa’s greatest football legends!

You started your football career very early but have stayed relevant even after retirement. What is the secret? I would say it is all about building yourself and knowing what you want to do after football. We all know that a football career is very short. It takes a lot of discipline to maintain this level of consistency. It is all about planning your future, having a plan and working towards it, dedication, and hard work.

My career started when I was in secondary school.

Nkechi Okocha is the wife of legendary Nigerian footballer Austin "Jay-Jay" Okocha, one of Africa's most iconic and skillful midfielders.

That was when I signed my first mature contract with Enugu Rangers, and from then on, it was obvious that I was a step ahead of my mates and wanted to take football as my career. When I got an invitation to go to Germany, I knew I had to take my chance and make the best of it, which I did and got signed by a team over there. From then on, the sky was the limit.

It was a big challenge for people to even accept me playing with their children because they saw me as a big distraction. That was my biggest challenge—not just for me, but for a few of us. Having to stay focused, believing in myself and my vision of becoming a footballer. It comes with the career, and once you understand it and have a very supportive wife, it makes everything easier.
