Oshoala’s brilliance extends beyond her linguistic abilities, she has been in phenomenal form since joining the Spanish club scoring 20 goals in the 2021-22 Liga F season campaign and 21 goals in the 2022-23 season.

Her outstanding performances have earned her a nomination for the 2023 Women’s Ballon d’Or, a recognition of her excellence in the sport.

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.

Additionally, she boasts four African Women’s Player of the Year awards, underlining her exceptional career achievements.

  • 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.
