Soccer - From refugee to Rouen, Fulutudilu ready to shine for South Africa


CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Ode Fulutudilu's early life was one of upheaval as her family fled Zaire and then Angola, but her selection for South Africa at the 2019 women's World Cup shows she has not let those tough beginnings define her.

Fulutudilu's family ended up as refugees in Cape Town, forced further and further south by war and instability, and it was there that she carved out a soccer career that has led her to play in Finland, and more recently at Spanish side Malaga.
