Amid rising speculations and agitations calling for her retirement from international football, one thing remains undeniable — Asisat Oshoala has nothing left to prove.
A career that speaks louder than any critic: 6-time African Player of the Year, 4 WAFCON titles, multiple league and cup trophies across Europe and Asia, including 2 UEFA Women’s Champions League titles. She has done it all — and done it with grace, power, and consistency.
Recently, a one-minute video clip posted by Oshoala sparked fresh rumours. With its reflective tone and highlight montages, many interpreted it as a subtle goodbye. Whether it was intended or not, it reignited debates about whether now is the right time for her to step aside.
Calls for her to retire may be wrapped in the language of “timing” and “fresh blood,” but they sometimes reek of selective memory. Have we forgotten how many times she carried the Super Falcons on her back? Or how she became the first African woman to score in three consecutive FIFA World Cups?
Oshoala may no longer be the teenage sensation that burst onto the scene in 2014, but she remains a force — a living legend whose presence still demands respect. If and when she chooses to bow out, let it be on her terms, not from pressure or politics.
For now, let the record show: Asisat Oshoala is the greatest African female footballer of all time. And whether she plays one more match or not, she owes no apologies for the greatness she brought to the game.
Take a bow — if you choose to. Agba baller forever.
