It'd certainly be an easier route to an Olympic Games if Nigeria put together a team for the women like they have with the men in past years (where every decent US player with a vaguely tangential Nigerian history gets pulled in). I doubt Williams is the only one who'd be eligible. A half-decent team like that is way more likely to qualify out of Africa than GB would be from Europe.
But obviously the European passport would be more useful to make money if she could get hold of one. |
Nigeria's women's team has been better at getting Americans to play for them, but I am not sure their federation has the resources to do things like file paperwork for a switch. I am led to believe that almost all of their ability to get American players to suit up for them is the result of effort by one American-based fan to identify and contact players for them for free. |
