Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala has debunked widespread rumours suggesting she has retired from international football. Speaking to reporters in Morocco following Nigerias dramatic 3-2 victory over the host nation in the 2024 Womens Africa Cup of Nations final, the six-time African Player of the Year described the speculation as entirely baseless. I dont know where that came from but agenda must agend. I get it, but Im not bothered. Im still here. Im still playing. Im still doing my job. Thats what Im focused on, Oshoala said. The 30-year-old, who was named in Nigerias final 23-player squad for the tournament, played a supporting role throughout the competition, providing leadership and experience from the bench as the Super Falcons clinched their 12th WAFCON title. Oshoalas international career began in 2013 and gained global attention in 2014 when she starred at the U-20 Womens World Cup and helped Nigeria win the African Womens Championship that same year. She made history by becoming the first African player to score in three consecutive FIFA Womens World Cups and has now won four WAFCON titles 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2024. With a legacy that continues to grow, Oshoala remains a defining figure in Nigerian football and a symbol of excellence on the continent.The post I’m still here – Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala debunks claim of retiring from international football appeared first on Time.com.ng.
