Notably, Oshoala played a key role in the Super Falcons’ journey to the round of 16 in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, by scoring a goal against Australia, and where  Randy Waldrum’s troops were narrowly defeated by runners-up England in a penalty shootout.

As the new campaign gets underway, Oshoala has reunited with her teammates, ready to continue her impressive journey.

The 28-year-old has already clinched four women’s league titles and two UEFA Women’s Champions League trophies with Barcelona.

  • A very good achievement for Asisat Oshoala. She has truly enjoyed a remarkable club career and perhaps all she could in international football. But the time is now to start grooming a deadly striker for Nigeria that can be helped with Oshoalas experience.
