Former NF player Cille Nilsen is playing for Sporting CP

Born in 2006 in Norway, Cille is a very talented female football player. After participating last year in NF Weekend Training in Bergen she won the “Player of the Camp” award and got invited to train at Sporting Academy. João Plantier was impressed with her skill on the pitch.

“What impressed me the most in Cille, besides her superior technical skill, is her determination, she wants to have the ball all the time even when she plays with stronger opponents, and that is rare to happen. She never shies away from good a challenge”, said Sports Director João Plantier
