Oshoala has won her fifth African Women’s Player of The Year at the CAF Awards 2023.

Glamtush reports that Nigeria’s  female striker, Asisat Oshoala has won the CAF Awards 2023 Women’s Player of The Year at the ongoing Confederation of African Football awards for a record-extending fifth time.

In her acceptance speech, Oshoala said, “This night, I would love to use this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of my journey from grassroots football to the national level to the club side. Because without you, my coaches, and my teammates, there will be no me.

“Football is a team sport; it’s a team game and I urge all the federations in Africa to please come together; let’s work together and build our continent. Let’s make it the best in the world.

“And I believe that before the next World Cup, we can get better, we can do better and we can win it for sure. Because at the end of the day, if we don’t support ourselves, nobody will come to Africa; nobody will come to this continent to support us.

“We have to work together as a team because football is a team sport. Let’s start at home and go to the world and conquer it.”
