At just 30 years old, Nigerian football icon Asisat Oshoala has decided to retire from professional football, marking the end of an extraordinary career that redefined women’s football in Africa. The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year will hang up her boots after the upcoming WAFCON tournament, shifting her focus to a new chapter beyond the pitch.
Oshoala leaves behind an unmatched legacy, holding the record for the most CAF Women’s Player of the Year awards (2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2023). Her skill, tenacity, and trailblazing achievements have inspired a generation of young African talents, proving that greatness knows no limits.
To Nigeria and the world, Oshoala is more than a footballer—she is a symbol of resilience, excellence, and national pride. As she steps away, she leaves the stage open for the next wave of stars to rise.
Thank you, Asisat! 🇳🇬❤️
Your passion, sacrifices, and unforgettable moments on the field will forever be cherished. The Super Falcons and fans worldwide will miss your magic, but we celebrate your next journey with pride. Once a legend, always a legend! 🦅💚
