Super Falcons forward Esther Okoronkwo has won the 2026 Northern Super League (NSL) Championship with AFC Toronto, www.aclsports.com reports.
AFC Toronto secured the title on Saturday following a 1-0 victory over Montreal Roses FC in the Championship Final at TD Place in Ottawa. Olivia Chisholm scored the decisive goal towards the end of the first half to hand Toronto the Diana B. Matheson Cup, the trophy awarded to the NSL champions.
Okoronkwo, who missed the remainder of the campaign through injury, recorded one goal and one assist in six league appearances, accumulating 231 minutes.
AFC Toronto’s triumph is particularly significant as they become the first club to win the NSL’s two major honours, having previously secured the Supporters’ Shield in 2025. The victory also marks a turnaround from last season, when they finished runners-up in the league’s inaugural Championship Final.
Okoronkwo also enjoyed individual success last season, finishing as the NSL’s leading assist provider with seven assists and earning a place in the league’s Team of the Season.
