A Legacy on the Pitch
Salomé Abodo Tenga is fondly remembered as an energetic pioneer during the early competitive eras of the senior women’s national football team. As a dedicated player for the Indomitable Lionesses, her leadership and physical stamina on the turf helped lay the structural groundwork for the international recognition the women’s national side enjoys today.
Shaping Youth Excellence off the Pitch
Following her retirement from active playing, Tenga smoothly transitioned into management, where her technical discipline became invaluable to FECAFOOT.
- The Role: She served with high distinction as the Team Manager for the Under-20 (U-20) Lionesses.
- The Impact: In her administrative seat, she acted as a maternal anchor and mentor, guiding young prospects through international qualifying filters and instilling the fierce national “Hemlè” fighting spirit.
Four years after her departure, her structural contributions continue to yield rewards, as many of the youth players she managed have successfully integrated into the senior national team setup.
