Asisat Oshoala Announces Retirement from Super Falcons Ahead of WAFCON Semi-Final
Nigerian football icon Asisat Oshoala has announced her retirement from international football, just a day before the Super Falcons face South Africa in the semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Casablanca, Morocco.
The six-time African Women’s Player of the Year made the announcement on Facebook late Monday night, stating that the time had come to step aside and make room for the next generation of talent.
“At 30, with six African Women’s Best Player awards, I will bow out to start a new chapter after WAFCON 2024/25,” she wrote.
Oshoala expressed deep appreciation to fans and supporters, saying, “Thank you for your unwavering support. I’m forever grateful for the love and sacrifices shared with me throughout this journey.”
The former Barcelona Femeni striker retires as the most decorated player in African women’s football history, having clinched the CAF Women’s Player of the Year title in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, and 2023.
Renowned for her explosive pace, clinical finishing, and leadership, Oshoala has left an enduring legacy and continues to inspire a new wave of African female footballers.
