During her time with Benfica, the former Nasarawa Amazons star established herself as an important member of the team and helped the club win several domestic honours.
Benfica confirmed Ucheibe’s departure in June, bringing an end to her impressive spell with the Portuguese champions.
At international level, Ucheibe has also been a key figure for Nigeria and was part of the Super Falcons squad that won the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The move to Al Hilal marks a new chapter in her career as she prepares for her first experience in Saudi Arabian football.
