  • Post category:Sports

Asisat Oshoala is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona and the Nigeria women’s national team. She is one of the best players in the world and has won numerous awards, including the African Women’s Player of the Year award five times.
Oshoala was born in Lagos, Nigeria, and started playing football at a young age. She defied her parents’ wishes to drop out of school and focus on football, and her decision paid off. In 2014, she was made a Member of the Order of the Niger by the country’s then-president Goodluck Jonathan.
Oshoala has played for several clubs in Europe, including Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona. She has won three league titles and two women’s Champions Leagues with Barcelona. She is also the first African woman to win the Spanish top flight’s leading goalscorer trophy.
Oshoala is a key player for the Nigeria women’s national team, the Super Falcons. The Super Falcons have never made it past the quarter-finals of the World Cup, but Oshoala is hoping to change that this year. The Super Falcons are in a tough group at the 2023 World Cup, but Oshoala believes that they have a chance to win.
Oshoala is an inspiration to young girls in Nigeria and around the world. She is proof that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. She is a role model for young girls who want to play football, and she is an ambassador for women’s football in Africa.
Oshoala was ruled out of Barcelona’s Champions League final win over Wolfsburg due to a hamstring injury.
She is the only African player to have been nominated for the Ballon d’Or.
She has a foundation back home in Nigeria which helps young girls to play football.
She is hoping to lead the Super Falcons to their first World Cup semi-final this year.
