Oshoala said she approaches every tournament with the same hunger and commitment, whether on the African stage or at the global showpiece.
Al Hilal Women forward Asisat Oshoala has described the 2023 Women’s World Cup as the most memorable tournament of her career with the Super Falcons.
In an interview with Ghanasoccernet, Oshoala said she approaches every tournament with the same hunger and commitment, whether on the African stage or at the global showpiece.
“Every tournament is special to me because I give my all in every competition. Whether it is WAFCON or the World Cup, I approach each game with the same passion and energy because I genuinely love football,” Asisat Oshoala said.
Still, one tournament sits above the rest.
“The 2023 World Cup in Australia stands out the most for me. Our match against Australia was particularly special, as well as the game against England,” Oshoala said.
The Super Falcons went into the 2023 tournament ranked 40th in the world by FIFA. They held Olympic champions Canada, stunned co-hosts Australia and pushed eventual finalists England to extra time and penalties before bowing out in the round of 16.
Oshoala believes those outings highlighted the team’s steady rise on the global stage.
“Those performances showed how much the Nigerian team is evolving and improving with every competition. At WAFCON in Morocco, we experienced intense moments, especially when we were two goals down. Fighting back together and supporting one another made the victory even sweeter,” she concluded.
The striker, however, was not included in the latest Super Falcons squad announced by head coach Justine Madugu for the upcoming pre-WAFCON friendly matches against Cameroon in Yaounde.
The first friendly takes place on Saturday at the Military Stadium in Yaounde, with the return fixture scheduled for Tuesday, March 3.
