At international level, Chilufya has been a regular feature for Cote d'Ivoire since 2018 as she featured at the country's Africa Women's Cup of Nations in Ghana and qualification to the Tokyo Olympics.

Her arrival will bolster the attacking line of Kaloyan Petkov's team ahead of the new season and 2020-21 Champions League's Round of 16 showdown with German champions Bayern Munich.

Upon her return to BIIK, she has featured in some pre-season matches, including a recent 2-1 win over Russian side Zvezda-2005.   

With her arrival, the 21-year-old will hope to settle in immediately as she teamed up with Zambian compatriot Racheal Kundananji.

She also swells the number of African stars to be involved in Europe's elite women's club competition, after Kundananji, Asisat Oshoala, Ajara Nchout, Rasheedat Ajibade and Abigail Kim.

Chilufya will hope to hit the ground running on her debut for BIIK in their Round of 16 double-header with Bayern Munich next month.
