Bay FC forward Asisat Oshoala has acknowledged the contributions of former Super Falcons stars Perpetua Nkwocha, Precious Dede, and Rita Chikwelu, crediting them for laying the groundwork for her rise in the national team.

Speaking during a recent interview on Arise News, following the Super Falcons’ triumph at the WAFCON tournament in Morocco, Oshoala reflected on the influence of the trailblazing players who came before her.

“Right now, if you Google players to see who has the most goals in the clubs, you have the likes of Perpetua Nkwocha,” Oshoala said.

“Those are the people that actually paved the way for someone like me to be able to come into the Super Falcons and enjoy certain things.

“You have the goalkeeper Precious Dede, Rita Chikwelu, so many Super Falcons players.

“I was fortunate to play with some of them before they retired,” she added.

Oshoala, who has had stints with clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal, and Barcelona, has won the CAF Women’s Player of the Year award six times. Now 30 years old, she remains one of the most decorated players in African women’s football.
